Necessity is the mother of invention

There is no denying the fact that ‘necessity is the mother of invention. Man has invented everything he felt the need of. Be it the crude and basic inventions in days of yore or in the present times, or in the future to come, he will keep inventing all those things he is in dire need of.

In the long past in the ages preceding stone age, he invented things out of stone such as crude weapons, utensils, homes, etc. He invented fire when he felt the need of; he invented wheel when he felt the need to move; he invented clothes, machines, super-machines, computers, super-computers, rockets, bullets, nukes, defense shields, jets, electric cars, nuclear reactors, and almost everything he felt the strong need of.

It was the urge of necessity that egged him on to keep on inventing. This journey of inventions is never ending. He will keep inventing new things as long as there is life in this world.

Answer:

"Necessity is the mother of invention"

Necessity is the mother of invention is a popular proverb. The proverb means that when put in a difficult situation, one is likely to think and be inspired to create a novel or ingenious solution. Plato is often wrongly credited with this phrase. This saying appears in the dialogue Republic, by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. However, the proverb was well known before it appeared in translations of his works.

This proverb means that the primary driving force for most new inventions is a need. When faced with a necessity, one is likely to be inspired to create a novel or ingenious solution. A need or problem encourages creative efforts to meet the need or solve the problem. The fable of the clever crow is a story that appropriately illustrates that necessity is the mother of invention.

It was a hot summer day. A crow felt thirsty and he flew off in search of water.He flew all around but cold not not find any water.He felt thirstier and was tired as well. Suddenly,he saw a pitcher in a garden.He flew down to it but was saddened to see very little water in it. He tried to drink it but his beak could not reach it. He looked around and saw some pebbles scattered here and there.He hit upon a great idea. He started picking he pebbles and dropped them one into the pitcher. Gradually the water level rose to the point where his beak could reach. The crow drank the cool water from the pitcher and flew away crowing happily. His wisdom saved him from dying of thirst.

When a necessity cannot be attained by existing means, we are naturally compelled to use our mental faculty and find ways to meet our needs. So a need or problem leads to creative efforts to solve the problem. Necessity is indeed the main force behind every new invention and discovery.
