Going back to the history of human existence and various scientific and technological innovations and discoveries, we'll find out that we as humans are so much fond of pushing our boundaries whenever nature or other natural forces gets us pinned to the wall. In the process of pushing our boundaries, we make discoveries and invent things that originally would be helpful to the continuous existence of the human race a d ensuring we remain the top of the food chain as higher animal.

The saying necessity is the mother of all inventions is not a far cry from the above fact as humans only push boundaries when they are backed up to the wall. In the bid to survive, humans get insight to invent new things to tackle the present challenge they face.

As humans, we are equipped with survival instinct just like higher animals we are we tend to survive in the midst of difficulties and fashion out ways to solve our problems but this only happens mostly when it becomes necessary and expedient and there is no where to turn to.

Yes, of course I agree with the statement that necessity is the mother of all inventions as I have read through a chunk of different history and stories backing some certain inventions that I realize that the insight for such inventions came as a matter of necessity to tackle certain problems being faced at that point in time. A vivid example is the invention and discovery of a vaccine that cures the polio virus. This vaccine would have not been discovered if polio had not been ravaging the lives of children which necessitated some team of doctors to find a cure for it at all cost.

Another example is the invention of the wireless transmitter in order to get information across to a lot of people within a short time and without much stress. Morse code also was invented in order not to let enemies get wind of the information the US military was passing across to their soldiers on the war front.

In a nutshell, as a matter of fact, all inventions only came to be as a matter of necessity and no invention came to be without the ultimate need for it hence the statement necessity is the mother of all inventions.
