 A Specimen
Necessity Is the Mother of Invention
The keyword in the proverb is ‘mother’. It means source or starting point.
All inventions or discoveries came into being because of their immediate demand or
necessity. For when there is an urgent pressing need we try hard to satisfy it. We devote all
our energies to fulfil the demand and succeed in our efforts.
If one reads the story of discoveries and inventions one will come across numerous
examples to prove the truth of this saying. The primitive man must have felt the need to
keep himself warm and protect himself from wild animals. These needs must have driven
him to discover fire and invent weapons. Similarly, he would have invented the wheel to
make the task of dragging huge weights easier.
It is only when we need something badly that we bend all our energies and channelize all
our resources for finding, tracing or inventing. Radio, television, railway, aeroplane and
telephone were all thought of when necessity for recreation, quick transport and
immediate communication was felt.
When the Turks captured Constantinople (now Turkey) the land route to India was closed.
The necessity to continue trade links with India arose and it resulted in the discovery of a
sea route to India via Cape of Good Hope by Vasco-Da-Gama.
Man, needed medicines to cure ailments and he found and made miraculous drugs like
penicillin and streptomycin. Today man is busy finding alternate fuels to overcome oil
shortage. He is using Genetics to discover ways and means to make life better.
In any field whenever need arises, man uses all his faculties to fulfil the necessity. The result
is an invention or a discovery. Hence the proverb ‘Necessity is the mother of invention’.
