Lesson 2 - Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention.

-----Reflections on lessons learned-----

In lesson 2 , lecturer teach about Novelty, Creativity, Innovation ans Invention. Get to know that Creativity is divide into big capital "C" and and a small capital "c" ."C" is some creative work or product or other things that may influence or change the aspect of culture. However, "c" is only somethings that only for personal satisfactions. Currently, i do not have "C" but "c". =) i hope someday i can create something in the categories of "C".

Is Creativity same with Innovation?
The answer is NO. Actually it quite confusing between creativity and innovation.But after attend lesson 2, i realize that creativity is the process coming out an idea while innovation is something idea selection and development or commercialization or making improvement.
Creativity -> Innovation??
After come out the idea, then turn the idea into reality.

Innovations is divided into 2 categories too.
1)Continuous evolutionary innovations:
- changing and improve the product characteristic but not changing to a new product
-no need user learning
2)Dynamic continuous evolutionary innovations
- need some user learning
- do not disrupt the routine

Novelty is the quality of being new.
Here are my research on Novelty items:

X-ray Specs

Novelty value of X-ray Specs:
X-Ray Specs were long advertised with the slogan "See the bones in your hand, see through clothes!" Some versions of the advertisement featured an illustration of a young man using the X-Ray Specs to examine the bones in his hand while a voluptuous (but fully-dressed) woman stood in the background, as though awaiting her turn to be "X-rayed."

The claim is untrue, of course; besides the unlikelihood of a safe and functional X-ray device selling for about a dollar, X-ray detectors require an X-ray source.

Part or even most of the novelty value lies in provoking the object of the wearer's attentions. These subjects, if unable to be entirely sure that the device did not indeed allow the wearer to compromise their modesty, were liable to respond with a variety of amusing reactions. [source]

Inventor is someone who have knowledge and create something new and come out new idea.After they get the idea , they start to invent it! So they have a process called invention.
Roger Bacon is one of the famous inventor, invented magnifying glass.
