WEEK FOUR PART TWO

This week my next topic would be the process of invention and innovation

What do you think about invention? 

Better yet what is invention?

 The definition behind the word?

Invention involves the discovery of new processes, ideas or tools.  Invention is prioritary, meaning that only a new or previously unknown discovery can be considered an invention, as opposed to the development of an already existing one.  Patenting an invention requires priority, meaning that no one else must have come up with the same (or similar) idea at any previous time.  Patenting involves an exhaustive scrutiny of an idea’s novel qualities and an evaluation of its potential uses by experienced specialists from various fields.  The evaluation of a patent application often requires years before a final determination on award can be made.    

Meanwhile Innovation?

Innovation, on the other hand, involves the use or development of an invention for some useful purpose.  Innovations have often served as the point of departure for new inventions.  Innovation is typically less risky than invention, since it usually deals with known parameters, qualities or quantities.  Invention, on the other hand, often involves a leap unto the unknown, where trial and error, the unexpected or even chance can have a substantial influence on the outcome.  The high risk of invention can act as a deterrent to many organizations and individuals, particularly when rewards cannot be clearly anticipated.

From reading this article from http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/tech/article/the-pc-is-dead-long-live-the-tablet/  I found that people buy latest technology that is more portable and easy to use. Tablets is so small that you can actually carry around with it to go for break, lunch and meetings. It's like having a small PC to use anywhere at anytime. By reading this article you can notice that how technology evolves. From small to big and from boring to something exciting. We use to have Phone Cords but now our society needs a wireless phone. Where you can carry around to call someone without having the annoying cords. So people invented the Handphone.

But this phone is too big to carry around. You can only use it to call and text someone. Therefore, people invented a phone with games, calender, calculator, alarms and different ringtones with it. Thus, this phone was created. The Nokia 3310.

Now? Society needed a phone to take pictures and access the internet so they can communicate with their friends through social network all the time and we call it a smartphone. Innovation is actually what during the old days have invented like phones, televisions, computers and etc. But as time passed, we tend to invent new things and add up more features to it for the benefits of our people.
