Week 3: Novelty, Creativity, Innovation, Invention

On week 3, Mr Bedu gave us a lecture on Novelty, Creativity, Innovation, and Invention. This 4 words contains a different meaning but have the same value.

From my understanding, Novelty means the quality of being new and it was good for the person who produce it. It can be divided into two; Subjective Novelty and Objective Novelty.
Subjective novelty can be defined as the perceptions of something as being new by individual or group. Objective novelty is new for all humanity in its development through ages.

NEVER BE CONFIDENT THAT SOMETHING IS OBJECTIVELY NEW!


Now, let's move on to Creativity. Creativity means generation of new ideas or a new way of doing things. So, novelty in creativity is actually based on what has been created before. But to be creative, originality is important. We can't just simply take other people's work and claimed it as ours. Originality is decisive feature of creative work.

What is Innovation? Innovation is the process of making improvements by introducing something new. All of the ideas or invention were translated into good or service. But, the idea must be replicable at economical cost and satisfy the specific need. It can be divided into two which is; continuous evolutionary innovation and discontinuous innovation.

Last but not least, what do you know about invention? Inventor is someone who take existing knowledge and create the new one out of it. Invention is new things that have been created.


"Necessity is the mother of invention, it is true, but its father is creativity, and knowledge is the midwife"
