I would say 'necessity'. It is (or was) the mother of invention. And creating tools led to many other things changing the way of life. So what is modern? The first tv was modern compared to radio. Radio was modern compared to drums/smoke signals... Today I think what is modern is perhaps more a creation of convenience. That doesn't mean that there aren't things created out of necessity. * +

The invention of tinned rice pudding is right up there, only just eclipsed by the genius who decided to dollop a spoonful of jam in the rice pudding * +

''At first, Bell didnt believe it, thinking the telegraph was a forgery. It took two days to convince him that it was, in fact, real, at which point he sent a copy to the U.S. Ambassador Walter Hines. Hines then sent the copy of the telegraph to Woodrow Wilson, who released it to the media.

Two months later, Arthur Zimmerman, the man who had written the original telegram, admitted that it was real, sparking torment among the American people. Where the main ideal had been mostly anti-British (and truly, anti-foreigner) at that point, it drastically shifted to being anti-German. After the telegram was released, many people called for the U.S. to enter World War I, starting the push that the government needed.''

saw a video on this not long ago, it also mentioned that Mexico turned the offer down and I think told America about the offer themselves. *
