Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention.

"Being creative is seeing the same thing as everybody else but thinking of something different" -Sherkejia,D.

What is Creativity, novelty, innovation and invention.

Howard Gardner, psychologist at Harvard University said, being creative means doing something which is first of all unusual. I agree with his argument, new invention always started out unusual, this is because people need to get use to new things before they can take forgathered. But people may soon forget the person who invented or maybe not even know who invented the things they use, doesn't mens that we as creative personal should stop doing good for the public, after all, creativity is the process of generating new things which has it value,mean it is useful for people. A creation may not be as original as other said, but it should always has it own values.

Creativity is the process of generating new things which has it value,mean it is useful for people. A creation must be original and has it own values.


The printing press example given in class which was invented by the Johannes Gutenberg has demonstrated that creation should always based on the need of the people,it has created a huge impact to the society people accepted and supported his idea and these supports make the creation more valuable.The creation always based on the need of the people. In other words, Innovation means, to bring in new ideas or make changes.

What about Novelty?
It can be explain in two forms:-

Subjective novelty: A perception of something as being new by a person or a group of persons.
Objective novelty: something new for all and its development for ages.
