Week 3 ( Creative Studies )

In week 3, we were given a slide about Novelty, Innovation and Invention.

Novelty in the Dictionary ;

novelty |ˈnävəltē|

noun ( pl. -ties)

1 the quality of being new, original, or unusual : the novelty of being a married woman wore off.

• a new or unfamiliar thing or experience : in 1914 air travel was still a novelty.• [as adj. ] denoting something intended to be amusing as a result of its new or unusual quality : a novelty teapot.2 a small and inexpensive toy or ornament : he bought chocolate novelties to decorate the Christmas tree.ORIGIN late Middle English : from Old French novelte, from novel‘new, fresh’ (see novel 2 )Wikipedia ;

Novelty (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 or impressionism) it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals.

It also refers to something novel; that which is striking, original or unusual. The term can have pejorative sense and refer to a mere innovation.

My perception of Novelty is just being able to create something real and unusual. Something even more out of the box. Something that not just ordinary people can think about or make up.

Innovation in the Dictionary ;

innovation |ˌinəˈvā sh ən|

noun

the action or process of innovating.

• a new method, idea, product, etc. : technological innovations designed to save energy.

DERIVATIVES

innovational |- sh ənl| adjectiveORIGIN late Middle English : from Latin innovatio(n-), from the verbinnovare (see innovate )Wikipedia ;Innovation is a change in the thought process for doing something, or the useful application of new inventions or discoveries.^[1] It may refer to an incrementalemergent 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.Based on my perception, innovation is something like changing something for the better. Car companies make innovations every single day to make their cars are always better and bigger. They think hard to make them more conventional and at the same time fit for the economy.Invention in the Dictionary ;

invention |inˈven sh ən|

noun

the action of inventing something, typically a process or device : the invention of printing in the 15th century.

• something, typically a process or device, that has been invented :medieval inventions included spectacles for reading and the spinning wheel.• creative ability : his powers of invention were rather limited.• something fabricated or made up : you know my story is an invention.• used as a title for a short piece of music : Bach's two-part Inventions.ORIGIN Middle English (in the sense [finding out, discovery] ): fromLatin inventio(n-), from invenire ‘discover’ (see invent ).Wikipedia ;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.^[1] 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.Based on my perception, an invention is making something that will be good use to people. It may be manipulated from something old but it will still have that new touch on it. Most inventions bring good reflexes to the world.
