What next….?

Every invention comes out of the needs of the people and each invention
is not enough and it has to be a continuous process, for survival in a
new system. Plato has rightly quoted “Necessity is the mother of
invention”.
Had this not been a continuous process, there would have been
stagnation on this planet, earth and the things would have been going on
just in a casual way having no interest in anything.
It is only the man through the process of evolution have attained the
quality of thinking as per the circumstances and then inventing, it may
be food habits, mobility, clothing or any other thing which we presently
see around us and language as well.
But this invention would never be enough against the needs of
the human being. Every creation, discovery or innovation is linked to
many things, its usage, its pluses and minuses, its commercial use and
get them to people.
Tesla invented the electric power we use but struggled to get it out to
people. So, one has to combine both things – invention and invocation
focus plus the company that can commercialize things.
While the television is like the invention of indoor plumbing, it did not
change people’s habits; it just kept them inside the houses. Some have
given it a name as ‘idiot box’.
Take the case of telephone invention is said to be the invention of the
devil which abrogates some of the advantages of making a disagreeable
person to keep distance. As per the need, the new invention was made of
a mobile phone, keeping it in hand anywhere and to remain in touch,
even now over a video call.
Every invention in this world is never long-term; it is always subject to
the next invention either with improvement or with modification because
the the invention has to make sense in the world in which it is invented
and not the world in which it started.
I being a writer, I am asked to say what the greatest invention of human
beings was; I would definitely say that it is the language in
sentences. Not only has this, with the invention of the internet, but
communication also becomes so fast that is not considered as one of the
major inventions of high-speed data transmission. It has brought a
revolution in the communication system.
No doubt, science is one of the most remarkable inventions of
humankind which has been a source of inspiration and understanding,
lifted the veil of ignorance and superstitions and saved countless
lives. But the biggest blunder of the invention is the weapon – a weapon
to kill a man by man. There is a race at the global level to maintain a
fleet of the latest weapon to be used at the time of war – the all-time
biggest blunder of the invention.
Frankly speaking, still, some people think that necessity is not the
mother of invention.
But to invent and to maintain its continuous process, one needs a good
imagination and pile of junk. The other day, I asked a young boy as to
which is the latest invention. Pointing out to me in a very satirical
manner, I was surprised by his words. He said, Uncle, every invention is
old when it reaches the people’s hand and there is always a question as
to ‘What Next’
