Novelty, Creativity, Innovation AND Invention

The creative person is one who generates new ideas while the creative process is how these new ideas, solutions, and inventions are produced. It is said that, we are all naturally creative. From poetry to building a house, from computer programming to humor, from music to science, creativity is manifested in a variety of different ways. The aim is to understand the complexity of creativity and to comprehend its mystery through a structured program of learning.

Novelty

Novelty is the quality of being new. Although it may be said to have an objective dimension for example like a new style of art coming into being, such as abstract art or impression, it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals.

Creativity

Creativity as everybody know, it is about new ideas or the action of everyone takes. Every step that people take is the creativity of their own.

Innovation

Innovation is the process of making improvements by introducing something new, the realization of a creative idea in a social context and an idea or invention is translated into a good or service for which people will pay. Innovation can therefore be seen as the process that renews something that exists and not, as is commonly assumed, the introduction of something new. Furthermore this makes clear innovation is not an economic term by origin, but dates back to the Middle Ages at least.

Invention

Invention is a creative process. Inventors are those who take existing knowledge and create new ideas An open and curious mind enables one to see beyond what is known. Seeing a new possibility, a new connection or relationship can spark an invention. Inventive thinking frequently involves combining concepts or elements from different realms that would not normally be put together. Sometimes inventors skip over the boundaries between distinctly separate territories or fields. Ways of thinking, materials, processes or tools from one realm are used as no one else has imagined in a different realm.

Left and Right Brain

Right Brain vs. Left Brain

This theory of the structure and functions of the mind suggests that the two different sides of the brain control two different “modes” of thinking. It also suggests that each of us prefers one mode over the other. Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:

Left Brain		Right Brain
Logical Sequential Rational Analytical Objective Looks at parts		Random Intuitive Holistic Synthesizing Subjective Looks at wholes

There is one way to know whether you are more into right or left brain. I learned it from my lecturer. Open up both of your hands, then together it, and you will know which side of brain are you by look at which thumbs either right or left is at the top. If left on the top, then you are left brain and so do other side.

This video shows that this young man are left brain. Because he is CREATIVE!

What is Creative?

According to wikipedia, "Creativity refers to the phenomenon whereby a person creates something new (a product, a solution, a work of art etc.) 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.Scholarly interest in creativity ranges widely: the relationship between creativity and general intelligence; the mental and neurological processes associated with creative activity; personality type and creative ability; creativity and mental health; creativity in education; and ways of fostering creativity through training and technology."

But it is not creativity we are talking about here. It is CREATIVE. Anything we do can be creative. The only thing that shows us it is creative or not is how people surround us responds to the thing that we do. In example from the words that we said, there are sometimes people will laugh and sometimes not. If they are laughing then you can call yourself as a creative person. Other than that, let say I ask you "what is your name?" from that kind of question, you can create a lot of ideas of answers. Well I learned this during my lecture time. Haha. Am I creative when I took others idea as mine? Well the answer is yes. Creative people know how to easily manipulate others ideas. In example like China, they can do many things of things. Just name it then they will do it. That is why many products came from China. Even a smartphones, they can easily imitate it. In Malaysia, we can find imitation things in Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur. Creative right?
