What does it tell us about the process of invention and innovation?
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 the http://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 (:
Thank you (:
