Wohooo! It's a whole new week! I'm so excited to start this new week. Maybe it's because of the spirit of new trimester. I've started this new week by attending the 3rd class of Creative Studies on Monday afternoon, 17th November 2008. On yesterday class, I have learnt about these 4 things: Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention. Can you differentiate the meaning for each of it? Each words have similar meaning actually, but it still have slightly differences. So, lets review it one by one.
NOVELTY
(All informations are from Wikipedia)
Definition:
Novelty is the quality of being new. Although it may be said to have an objective dimension (e.g. a new style of art coming into being, such as abstract art or impressionism) it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals. It also refers to something novel; that which is striking, original or unusual.
Example:
The Longaberger Company
- American manufacturer of handcrafted maple wood baskets and offers other home and lifestyle products, including pottery, wrought iron, fabric accessories and specialty foods.
- Got inspiration to build their headquaters by taking the shape of their biggest seller, the "Medium Market Basket".
CREATIVITY
(All informations are from Wikipedia)
Definition:
Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. An alternative conception of creativness is that it is simply the act of making something new.
Example:
Township Cat
INNOVATION
(All informations are from Wikipedia)
Definition:
A new way of doing something. It may refer to incremental, radical, and revolutionary changes in thinking, products, processes, or organizations. A distinction is typically made between Invention, an idea made manifest, and innovation, ideas applied successfully.
Example:
Funky Kiwi Campers
- Paint jobs draw from the whole spectrum of visual art and pop culture, from kiwiana to Far Side comics and Maurice Sendak to Pablo Picasso.
INVENTION
(All informations are from Wikipedia)
Definition:
An invention is the finding or creation of a new configuration, composition of matter, device, or process. Some inventions are based on pre-existing models or ideas. Other inventions are radical breakthroughs which may extend the boundaries of human knowledge or experience.
Example:
Alexander Graham Bell's Telephone
- Bell was inspired to start development of the telephone when he read an account, written in German, describing an invention which he thought had the function of a telephone.
- After demonstrating his first working telephone Bell learned that, because of the language barrier, he had misunderstood the report, and the German invention had an entirely different function.
