Best Answer

Like most ancient inventions, the Mesopotamians developed theirs based on a need to improve some part of their lives in a very direct and deliberate way.

Four major inventions the Mesopotamians devised based on a need:

  1. The Wheel & The Chariot - invented out of a need to transport more people/things at a faster pace.
  2. Writing - cuneiform was invented as a way to keep accounting records
  3. The Seeder Plow - invented as a way for farmers to till & sow their fields much more efficiently

Other notable inventions include: the sailboat, the arch, the concept of 'zero', as well as irrigation & sanitation systems.

What is the meaning of the quote 'necessity is the mother of invention'?

It is that a need or a problem encourages creative efforts to meet the need or solve the problem. The quote "necessity is the mother of invention" is a well-known saying. Like most quotes, it can have different meanings for different people. One meaning is that without ever having to need anything nothing would have been invented. New inventions such as cell phones and digital cameras may have never been introduced or even theorized had it not been for the need. Also, with the need of certain things, you can improve your life and the lives of others. The need for some things can bring about new inventions which can be fun, challenging and very rewarding. Even during hard times or times, when everyone can't seem to relax, new inventions can bring some long-needed entertainment. That's why "necessity is the mother of invention."


Can the phrase necessity is the mother of all investion be used without plagiarism?

Plagiarism, as defined in the 1995 Random House Compact Unabridged Dictionary, is the "use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work."That sentence was taken directly from Wikipedia's article on "Plagiarism".I explain that to illustrate that as long as you give credit to the author and don't take credit for it, it isn't plagiarism.With a phrase like "Necessity is the mother of invention" it's difficult to know who the original author is because it's been around for so long. Without knowing the authors name it's still possible to avoid being accused of plagiarizing by simply adding something like..."It's often been said that..." So, it's often been said that necessity is the mother of invention will then be recognized as a saying that isn't your unique phrasing.

How did number systems come into existence?

Imagine that you are shepherding your families flock of sheep, way back in pre-history. Your Dad would like to know each evening, that you have brought back as many sheep as you started out with in the morning. So the short answer is in unrecorded pre-history. Our present European number systems have their origins in the middle east. But the Chinese and the Maya (at least) independently invented number systems. So the need for a number system seems to have driven its invention. "Necessity is the mother of invention" as the saying goes.
