Lesson 2- Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention

Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention
- The creative person is one who generates new ideas while the crreative process is how there new ideas, solutions, and inventions are produced.


" When a child stains paper with colors or rhymes words delighting his parents by his creativity, these activities are original only in the sense that the child learns skills that are new for him. "


Novelty = >
Novelty is the quality of being new. Something novel, a new or strange things.
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.


Creativity = >
Creativity refers to the phenomenon whereby something new is created which has some kind of value. What counts as "new" may be in reference to the individual creator, or to the society or domain within which the novelty occurs. What counts as "valuable" is similarly defined in a variety of ways.


Innovation = >
Innovation is the process of making improvements by introducing something new, the realization of a creative idea in a social context.
Innovation comes from the Latin innovātus which means to renew. Innovation can therefore be seen as the process that renews something that exists and not, as is commonly assumed, the introduction of something new.


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.
