Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention

Novelty: The quality of being new and fresh and interesting. (as modifier)
When talk about novelty, we can't resist every item which comes from Apple. And now, they bring a new phenomena with a large Multi-Touch screen device known as iPad. As we know, iPad is like a computer which has been 'smack' to be thin, light, compact rectangle shape, smart device which we can do everything we want in our own palm. We can bring it all along it like a notebook but it is digital. What else can we ask from this kind of invention? Maybe 3 to 4 years in the future..the big,bulk PC are not use anymore.

Creativity: Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts.
IKEA Stairs Advertisemen

Store’s main staircase was presented as a chest of drawers, with everything inside neatly organized. This is CREATIVE. I can say that IKEA is like Home of Creative Department when it comes to design.

Innovation: The act of introducing something new.

I believe that innovation can be something that is already invented but we bring the idea to a higher level. Such like this shoes. Maybe some of you of don't even recognize it as a shoes until it being told that it is a shoes.

Invention: A creation (a new device or process) resulting from study and experimentation.

Invention can be many thing involve around us. A simple invention like clips can be a great creation as it make our task more easy.

Hence, novelty, creativity, innovation and invention are like circle which keep rotating and it apply effectively in our daily life.
