http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20400239 From what I can see in the article, an invention doesn'tnecessarily can become innovation. It takes a great efforts and times for something old to become something new. The innovator that failed, they usually comes with a lots of idea and would like to put all of it into one innovation and from my opinion, this is one of the reason why they failed.
I would like to share the old picture of military weapon that failed to fulfilling its purpose.
Scooter-Mounted-Cannon
The weapon ( or motorcycle? ) in the picture above is called scooter-mounted-cannon. The idea comes from the French military when they lack of money to provide more advanced equipment. The scooter-mounted cannon was a scooter like vehicle that held a 75 mm cannon. The vehicle was mainly used by the military during the 1950s. However, it’s safe to say that this innovation did not last long, as what we can see in the picture, it did not give any sort of protection to the rider.
There a several countries that developed from creativity and one of it is China and one of the creativity that I would like to write about is The Great Wall of China.
Uniqueness of The Great Wall of China are:
The measure of the wall is 8,850 km
It is one of the 7 wonders in the world.
Built to protect the Chinese Empire during the ancient times.
As a defence barrier during war.
Process Of Creativity:
The Great Wall of China was, in the beginning, not meant to fence in all of the empire. It started with several spattering of walls between the Warring States meant to fortify each of their defences. Thousand of worker ( most of them are war prisoner, civilians) are needed to completed the wall during those times. Although it was started in the previous dynasty and completed two dynasties hence, it became the “great wall” because of the unifying intent incorporated into it by the Qin Dynasty.
i Invention is the "creation of a product or introduction of a process for the first time."
ii Innovation happens when someone "improves on or makes a significant contribution" to something that has already been invented. For example, Steve Jobs was an innovator.
The PC is dead, long live the tablet, what does it mean by that?
From what I know, inventor is the one that creates the ideas, implementing the ideas, and make the ideas come alive through experiments and succession after countless of failure of prototypes, while innovator is the one that creates something out from old to new stuffs. In other words, they transform these innovation into something new. If we travel back to 15-20 years before, computer (invention) or known as Private Computer (PC) is a very convenient medium to use either in working environment or in home but as the technology become more and more advance, PC are no longer functioning like it was in its glorious times. It has been replaced with tablet (innovation) which is far more superior in terms of its easy-to-carry-around and much faster than the PC. Not only that, as mentioned in the article, it is this shift of power that is fuelling the trends such as Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD). People can bring the work from home to office and vice versa. Tablet has changed the world and been using the technology to the fullest in the present times. Prices has been reduced but the quality of it is improved, far surpassing the PC. 2.Visit thehttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20071644.What kind of environment, situation etc. that would make you become creative, inventive and innovative person?
This situation happened back when I was in high school. At that time, the most popular social network is Myspace The uniqueness of Myspace is that you can edit the coding of your profile by yourself, your layout, font, music player etc. During those day, if you are good enough in coding, people are willing to pay you just to edit their Myspace.
Let's get back to that situation. One day, out of boredom with my current Myspace's layout and plenty of time to spent ( I think it's during end of year holiday and I was like 15 or 16 years old ), I tried to edit the coding to make the layout becomes much more amazing with big font and all those cool stuffs but somehow, I messed it up. the layout become SMALLER and yes, I was very frustrated and just shut down the computer, but then later, a lots of my friend said that, your layout is awesome and asked whether I can help them to make the same layout.
The point that I try to emphasized in here is great things happened by accident. It may or may not becomes something amazing, but it is just worth to give a try (:

5 words not associated with "CREATIVITY"
- Boring
Enjoying a life is a must for someone who is creative thinker, as they will always do something enjoyable.
- Ugly
We are creating something beautiful when we think creative, and when it becomes something bad, it is a failure.
- Angry
By being angry, we expressed things that are harmful to others. For me, it is not creativity.
- Common
By being creative, common is not an option.
- Plain
It is like a dead thing, nothing is interesting.
Respond and reflect to the Ken Robinson 2006 Ted Talk episode on creativity education and intelligence.
From what I extracted in here, Sir Ken Robinson said that every human have those extraordinary creativity since birth but by the time flows by, it is fading away because of different factors. Sir Ken Robinson also said that "creativity now is also important as literacy and we should treat it with the same status". From this I agreed that the adults should not destroyed the creativity of the children just because of the knowledge of writing and reading. Adults should treat both of it as an important matters. By being creative, it could enhance the education and create something that is beyond our imaginations.
If they try to evade the iceberg by sliding to the left or right, they will fall off due to the speed of the ship and also because of the distance between the ship and the iceberg is very close, the higher ups choose to crush the iceberg with the ship. Unfortunately, the iceberg is much bigger than the ship itself (-___-)''
Object of curiosity
What: When i saw this picture, my mind immediately says that this thing is a "bottle clipper".
What can it do: To be use to open up a bottle caps.
Why: The hole are matching with the bottle caps' size, hence it is possible to open it up.
How: put it at the top of the bottle and rotate the clipper until the caps is stuck in it.
