NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
Amplification : Human life is full of needs and wants. When we face a new problem, we try to overcome it. Necessity leads us to the solution of the problems. And necessity is a good teacher to solve our problems. It has always taught man to find out new ways and means. It has enabled him to make many inventions. The primitive man had no clothes to wear, no house to live in, no fire to cook his food, and no protection from the sun, cold, and rain. So he began to live in caves, discovered fire to cook, and began to cover his body with skins of animals. Thus necessity taught him to make inventions one after another. Nowadays he wears beautiful clothes, lives in comfortable houses and he has quick means of transport and communication. In this respect, we can cite a very interesting example. Once a crow became very thirsty. He found no water near him except a small amount in the bottom of a pitcher. He was not strong enough to tilt the pitcher. Suddenly he hit upon a plan. He found some pieces of stones near him. He put the stones into the pitcher and the level of water gradually came up within his reach. He drank the water. Thus his necessity for water led him to make this invention. Human life is full of needs and wants. When we face a new problem, we try to overcome it.
