Our requirements force us to find ways of getting it. In the olden days when man felt the need of protection from wild beasts and cold, he invented fire by striking two pieces of stone. Slowly and slowly with the marching of time many developments took place in man's life.So it is always right to say that necessity is the mother of invention.

Today the definition of necessity has changed. yesterday's luxury like phone, TV, mobiles have become today's necessity. Inventions will continue as long as there is demand for new things. some changes here and there, when people are ready to buy it, when they can afford it, inventions will continue. today it is window 8. tomorrow it would be windows 9i, today it is samsung galaxy, tomorrow it would be samsung plutonic and so on .....
