4th Week of Creative Studies

This week , we learn about Novelty, Creativity, Invention and Innovation.

Creativity is mental characteristic that allows a person to think outside of the box,
which results in innovative or different approaches to a particular task.
It involving the discovery of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the existing ideas or concepts,
fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight.

Novelty (derived from Latin word novus for "new") is the quality of being new.
Although it may be said to have an objective dimension
(e.g. a new style of art coming into being, such as abstract art or impressionism)
it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals.
It also refers to something novel; that which is striking, original or unusual.
The term can have pejorative sense and refer to a mere innovation.

Innovation  is a change in the thought process for doing something,
or the useful application of new inventions or discoveries.
It may refer to an incremental emergent or radical and revolutionary changes in thinking,
products, processes, or organizations.

Invention is a new composition, device, or process. An invention may be derived from a pre-existing model or idea, or it could be independently conceived in which case it may be a radical breakthrough. In addition, there is cultural invention, which is an innovative set of useful social behaviors adopted by people and passed on to others.[1] Inventions often extend the boundaries of human knowledge or experience. An invention that is novel and not obvious to others skilled in the same field may be able to obtain the legal protection of a patent.

And then, we have given a exercise to find the things about Bill Gate.
I will update it after I found all the details of Bill Gate.
