Necessity is the mother of invention – Jonathan Swift.
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but play is certainly the father – Roger von Oech.
I don’t really get it, do you? The first quote I kinda get it but once I read the second quote, I’m lost.

People invent things because they need them (necessity is the mother of invention), or because they’re just fooling around: many of our greatest inventions have been accidental (play is the father of invention).
Check out these for some interesting reading:

So that’s what “play” means…it makes sense.
Thanks for explaining.
And thanks for the links too.
