Really, if you put it that way then there would be no such thing as an "invention." For example, the chair was an invention, but one could argue that people needed to sit down, so they used rocks, but once they built shelter rocks were no longer practical, so the rock evolved into the chair. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, the rock evolving into the chair.
