Necessity is the mother of inventions.
I think it's called so, because almost all the inventions that are made are necessary. And why it's called mother necessity (and not father necessity) is probably because the inventor came from the mother, and from the inventor came the idea!
For example the telephone where you can talk to people overseas, the light bulb so you can see clearly when it's dark, or the airplane when you can travel overseas a faster then for example a boat.

I agree with you Hanna Yin because I do think that the inventor came from a mother and from that, the idea. So I totally agree on that with you. But, I also think that it's called Mother Necessity because mmothers are nuturing and when you use a certain technical object and what-not, it is sort of nurturing. For example, you feel good when you can call someone, right? So I think that is another reason. Finally, I think that you backed up your explanations really well, and you make people want to agree with you. But, yep, I totally agree with you that it probably did some from the mother. I would have backed up my comment more if you had written more!!!
And sorry, but I need to add something about my last comment.
I think that your photo is appropriate because it has different inventions that famous people have, well, invented. And then it has the title "Great Inventions" which explains the different inventions. If it was a different title, then people might have thought that it was about something other than inventions.
I agree with you Hanna Yin because of the inventors came form the mothers part in your speech. I think in your piece of writing, you are trying to express an idea, but the idea is not getting through to us. You did really well in explaining your ideas and backing them up. Great job!!
