1. http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/tech/article/the-pc-is-dead-long-live-the-tablet/ . What does it tell us about the process of invention and innovation?
According to the article, "The PC is Dead, long Live The Tablet", Nov 07,2012.
It's hard to tell the difference between Invention and Innovation but, I will make it simple. The process is starting with invention because it generates new ideas, prototypes, patterns, designs, breakthrough experiments and working models. Then, the innovation takes place that transforms these inventions into commercial products or services or making improvement by introducing something new.
From this article, we can see that, phones and desktop and laptop computers is the technology we used at work - was far more expensive- as recently as 15 years ago (invention) and now, the tablets have turned the mobile and desktop devices people take for granted at home are far superior to what they find sitting on their desks when they come into work in the morning (innovation).
Tablets are using the existing technology in new ways. By this, we can make a conclusion that the innovation can reduces the price and at the same time improves the quality of the work.
2. Ask yourself what kind of environment, situation, etc, would make you to become creative/innovative/inventive person?
I can become a creative person in the kind of situation where I could not afford to buy the things that I want. It's about a month ago, was my special friend's birthday and at that time, I do not have enough money to buy any special present for him. Since I love cooking and baking, I've decided to make the red velvet cup cakes and all the decorations by myself. It just took a half of the red velvet cake price in the market to buy all the ingredients and I just used a few toothpicks and some old papers for the decorations. And, guess what? It became so special because you can not find this kind of red velvet cupcakes in the market! Here's the result:
Thank you for your time.
