Invention and Inovation

I've been playing video games for my whole life and I've been wondering who is the first creator of video game and what is it. I've searched on the internet and this is what I found.


"Tennis For Two"

This is the first video game created by an American physicist William Higinbotham. He created this game from Brookhaven's computer. After Tennis For Two there was a game called "Pong". Video games evolve every year and keeps getting better and better from graphics to gameplay.


Crysis 2 has the best graphics today.


No controllers!! Your body is the controller.

See how video games evolve from the "Tennis For Two" to "Xbox360 Kinect". This shows that innovation is good and important to help us with our life or to improve something so that it will bring benefit to us in the future.

Novelty, Creativity, Invention and Inovation

Defining Novelty
"Novelty is the quality of being new."
-Wikipedia

Defining Innovation
"Innovation is the process of making improvements by introducing
something new, the realization of a creative idea in a social cont."
- Notes from Lesson 2 MMLS

Inventors
people who create something new from old ideas

Innovation means to create something new or improve from old ideas. New ways to solve problems or new ways of doing things, to make our life more easier. This is what I have learned from this class and here is the example from the class:


Jane Chen, Baby Incubator.

This is a good example of innovative invention. The baby incubator helps people that can't afford to send their baby to hospital.

Lesson 1


This is my friend Axquizzaaad, but I just call him Ax. This is the image I've done for him. I like to use the space/galaxy effect on images because it blends perfectly. He is also loves the space effect that is why is used the effect.




This is the picture he made for me. I will make this as my avatar.

Introduction to Creative Studies


Creative Studies means that to learn to be creative or to think creatively to solve problem or creating different ways. In this class I expect that it will teach us how to think creatively and the definition of it. To solve problems in different ways meaning to find another solution or a better way to solve the problem.
I have a problem of thinking creatively I and hope that this class will help me with that and help me solve m problem in the future with my studies or my life.

Defining Creativity




"Creativity
refers to the phenomenon whereby a person creates something new (a product, a solution, a work of art etc.) that has some kind of value. What counts as "new" may be in reference to the individual creator, or to the society or domain within which the novelty occurs. What counts as "valuable" is similarly defined in a variety of ways."

What I understand from above is that creativity is that when you create or invent something new that someone hasn't invented yet. For example, the invention of Telephone by Alexander Graham Bell. He invented the telephone so that people can talk to each other from far away.
