I think that innovation implies more things that aren't needed, but are useful to us - they are developments, changes on things that have already been invented. However, necessity made us invent the rudimentary things that could then be 'innovated', so necessity is still the mother of invention, in my humble opinion.

Well, according to the saying, necessity is. And I do agree. You will still need necessity for innovation too. People need to be inspired and what better way by necessity?

The actual phrase is necessity is the mother of invention. Innovation is what happens when you make money out of necessity.

They say necessity is the mother of invention, but I'm strongly convinced that boredom is the mother of invention.

It's already established that necessity is the mother of invention. They found this through mitochondiral DNA analysis.

necessity.
I think necessity is being under pressure or have a definite need to solve/discover something.
Innovation, as I see it, is a person leisurely tinkering around to try a find a better way improve something
