Lesson 2: Defining Novelty, Innovation and Invention

In the class, the lecturer had showed us some video about the 4 things.In order to create o produce something new in our life, we need to have creativity.

NoveltyNovelty (derived from Latin word novus for "new") 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 orimpressionism) it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals.

Innovation
Innovation is a new way of doing something or "new stuff that is made useful". It may refer to incremental and emergent or radical and revolutionary changes in thinking, products, processes, or organizations. Following Schumpeter (1934), contributors to the scholarly literature on innovation typically distinguish between invention, an idea made manifest, and innovation, ideas applied successfully in practice. In many fields, such as the arts, economics and government policy, something new must be substantially different to be innovative. In economics the change must increase value, customer value, or producer value. The goal of innovation is positive change, to make someone or something better. Innovation leading to increased productivity is the fundamental source of increasing wealth in an economy.

example for Innovation:

Invention
An invention is a new composition, device, or process. An invention may be derived from a pre-existing model or idea, or it could be independently conceived in which case it may be a radical breakthrough. In addition, there is cultural invention, which is an innovative set of useful social behaviors adopted by people and passed on to others.Inventions often extend the boundaries of human knowledge or experience.
An invention that is novel and not obvious to others skilled in the same field may be able to obtain the legal protection of a patent.

example for Invention:

Creativity

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. Creativity is fueled by the process of either conscious or unconsciousinsight. An alternative conception of creativeness ( besed on its etymology) is that it is simply the act of making something new.
