Novelty, Creativity, Innovation & Invention

Novelty

When someone come out with new idea and that idea appriciate by a group of person, it define as novelty. It remind me to something about discovering Internet. Specifically,  social networking. From my own discover, I found, Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (Facebook CEO) is very good example. He discover Facebook while studying in Harvard University on 2004.

The best thing about Facebook, from my point of view is, it can do more than just social networking. We can find friends, share anything with friends, start our own business, playing online games together, funding for non-profit organisation, blogging and so on. There is no limitation in Facebook. Mark Elliot Zuckerberg were receive award as one of The World’s Most Influential People in 2008 by TIME Magazine.

Creativity

Best define as, generate a new idea or new way of process. Everybody is creative. But not in the same field. For example, a painter and a blacksmith. There both are creative in processing an idea, but not in the same way.

Creativity is not original idea. It can be combination of other person ideas. For example, the invention of camera. It was found by Johann Zahn in 1685. Base on my research, the idea was combination of Ibn al-Haytham in his book about Optics and Robert Boyle, in his discover about pinhole.

In the next century, there were parmenent camera, that made by wood, built by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce from French. This is the first image that being photograph and process:
