The MotherBoard..
Answer:
The term "mother of ..." has many potential meanings. It can be the initiating force that makes you do something (Necessity is the mother of invention.), the first example of a device or idea (The mother of Eli Whitney's cotton gin was seeing a fox pawing at hens in a coop.), or it can mean the greatest example (It was the mother of all storms.)
For each case the answer is different:
- In the sense of "the initial need": Agriculture, where herds had to be counted and counting sticks were developed to keep track of the number of sheep or goats in a herd.
- In the sense of "the first example": Any of the abacus for the mechanical manipulation of numbers to arrive at answers. The Antikythera mechanism, an ancient mechanical computer designed to calculate astronomical positions and built about 150--100 BCE, or the Jacquard loom, invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1801, which used punched card instructions as a program to weave complex patterns.
- In the sense of "the greatest ever": Discounting Skynet, the unified world wide computers from the Terminator movies, the under-development devices such as quantum computers which will use quantum level events to do vast numbers of calculations almost instantaneously will be the "Mother of all computers" when completed.

Is a modem board the same as a mother board?
No it is not. Modem board is the actual modem. Motherboard is the whole computer board. No. the motherboard is way more important. No.Mother board refers to an electronic circuit board with a number of connectors into which other circuit boards (sometimes called daughter boards) can be plugged. In modern computers, all of the required, core circuitry of the computer is located on the motherboard, and the daughter boards are used only for options and expansion (It used to be different in the old days).Modem is a portmanteau word, it means Modulator demodulator---a modulator being a device that can convert data into an electronic signal, and a demodulator being a device that can recover data from an electronic signal. A modem is a single device that performs both functions (i.e., it can send and receive data)A modem is an example of an optional peripheral device that, in some computers, is built on a daughter board that can be plugged into the motherboard. In that case, some people might call it a "modem board."
