Necessity Is the Mother of Invention

by Ben Johnson - Posted 15 years ago

There is an old fable by Aesop, a greek slave who was famous for his parables, that is about a crow, dying of thirst, who had come across a pitcher that had once been filled with water.

Now, however, only a quarter of the water remained in the pitcher. The crow could see that the spout was too narrow for his beak to fit through. The crow also knew that if the pitcher was pushed over the water would spill out much too quickly for him to get a drink. 

The crow pondered his predicament, getting thirstier and thirstier by the moment, until            finally an idea came. Taking a pebble off the ground in his beak, he dropped it into the pitcher. The water level rose. The crow gathered as many stones nearby as he could, dropping each one in, the water level rising each time, until it was finally high enough for the crow to take a drink, saving it's life. 

We here at ApogeeInvent know that good ideas are born when they are needed, but that great ideas solve problems that have not yet presented themselves. No one goes thirsty when they work with us. 

On that note I'd like to introduce to the world our blog, created and developed in-house by our engineers. Currently we're at our base functionality but with time comes new additions and innovations as we continue to walk the razor's edge of technology, researching, reviewing, testing, and implementing those new technologies that will one day be the solution for our future client's needs. 

Also present on this page are feeds from our Twitter accounts, and I strongly encourage all of our readers to friend our company on Facebook to get involved in the conversation.
