    Module 1 - Background "Invention is the mother of necessities.” - Marshall McLuhan Questions We Ask Ourselves Marshall McLuhan ’s saying‚ "Invention is the mother of necessities"‚ is an example of wit. How is it witty? What is the original saying? You need wit to think about technology‚ for wit demands creative thinking.
