Week 03 2nd entry

Steve Jobs are on of the most innovative person in the world for me. This is because, as we can see, there's a lot of changes that have been made by him. In fact, it gives everyone with a great impact in life. By the development and evolution of technology, this CEO's of Apple Inc. introduce to the worlds the most revolutionary that the technology nowadays can give.

For example, iPad that had been introduced for a couple of months earlier. It gives a big impact for now and for the future. Imagine that for a 5 to 10 years later, maybe most of the students and maybe our kids will only bring their iPad to the school or college. Everything can be embed into the iPad. Although it is great for entertainments as well.

Somehow this CEO's of Apple Inc. is 1 step ahead from everyone where he can see a chances to make changes in the world. It all come up with an idea. From there the idea is been develop until they achieve their target. The most important thing is, he is the man that can come out with an novelty,creativity,innovation & invention ideas.

Week 03 1st entry

Novelty,Creativity,Innovation & Invention

Creative Person

> One's who generate new ideas

Creative Process

> How exactly these new ideas/solutions/invention are produce

Other than that, creativity also were divided into 2 types :

1. Capital "C" creativity, which can made changes some aspect of culture
2. Small "c" creativity, which serve personal satisfaction & fulfillment

Innovation

> Process of turning ideas into practical reality

> Able to turn something & commercialize it

Novelty

Divided into 2:

1.Subjective novelty

• perception of something as being new by an individual;person/group

2.Objective novelty

• something that is new for all humanity in its development through ages
• always based on what has been created before

Innovation

> process of making improvement by introducing something new(in social context)

Divide into 2 context:

1.Business

• idea in decreasing the gap between the needs/expectations of the customer & performance of a firm's product

2.Social

• equally important in devising new collaborative methods

4 types of creativity:

1. aesthetics organizer
2. boundary pushers
3. inventors
4. the rarest group

in conclusion, to achieve creativity in each individual, a person should have all the attributes of novelty,creativity,innovation & invention. this will ensure that a person that can comes out with a creative ideas can be considered very unique stuff or ideas. all the attributes also will sets that particular person to be on a difference stage compared to others. the most important thing is, if someones that came up wit a very unique ideas, he/she should be able to see all the way(the process) that involved from the very beginning until the end. in other words, that particular person being able to accomplish what he started. this is my interpretation for this week's class.

Week 02 2nd entry

Hye!

Alright.. For the 2nd week, i finally realize that if we want to be creative, we have to see what others can see. We also have to be alert with the opportunities that around us. Also we must confidence with ourself that we can do anything that is impossible by putting a lot of effort into it. For example, note everything down even it is the dumbest idea that we can figure out. Who know that it might be useful in future.

For the video below, we have to be like that. Trying as hard as we can in order to come out with better idea from time to time. In this video, i like the idea that turning a box into a kart. It such a "out of the box" idea. It shows that never give up in trying to come out with better idea or solutions.

Week 02 1st entry

Hello,

This week, the lecture was about "Defining Creativity". Basically, creativity is a new way of doing new things. We also have to believe in ourself that we are able to be much more creative compared to others. That is the key to be such a creative person. To be creative, we must never think that we cannot be creative. It such a lame at all. Each of us are unique. It just we did not find the way or a path yet to be that creative.

We have to believe that there are no such way:

• only special talented people are creatives
• hard to be creative
• our current problems make it become harder
• i'm not that creative
• hard to brainstorming
• have to come up only with new develop ideas to be creative

A particular person also has to had what it takes to be creative. Some sort of personalities that can encourage themselves to be more creative than they can ever imagine. The attributes are such as:

• blood
• tear
• sweat
• attitude+effort
• lateral thinking
• don't judge anything
• has new perspective about everything

There is a formula: [ ability + attitude + process = CREATIVITY ]

Ability referring to a person should be able to imagine/invent something new or manipulate existing ideas to come out with new ideas.

Attitude referring to a person should be able to accept changes with the new ideas and they also willing to play with those ideas and all possibilities.

Process referring to a person should be able to continually to improve ideas & solutions from time to time.

Finally,people also are motivated to be creative so that they can communicate ideas/values and solve problems.

Week 01 2nd entry

From the lesson that had been given in class, i suddenly realize that each of us a capable of being a creative person. Its just we have to believe in ourself that we can achieve anything. For example, let say that there are 3 persons that are starring at the same images.

The one's that are capable to look into the image and came out with a unique interpretation will be consider as a creative person. This is because only he/she that capable to came out with that particular interpretation. This are some of the images that i think its creative to me. Because each of the images below have its own meaning and interpretation by its creator.

Week 01 1st entry

Hello,

This week my eyes had been open by the lecture session that had been conducted by Mr.Yap. Basically he try to get into our minds and try to make we believes that everyone are capable of being creatives. They just have to believe in themselves that they are creative. But in order to achieve that, we have to think differently compared to others. This is the most important points of all. Only if we are capable to come out with new idea or something that are outside of the box, we can be call creatives people. This what makes us different from others.

For example, i have an idea, why do we need to take attendance in class. Why we can't simply just create something that are more electronically such as a device where all the students can scan their ID card before they get into the classes. It is more accurate i think. Once the student already scan their ID, attendance of the student also will automatically been taken. By the way its just a concept. Maybe there is an improvement that can be made to make this idea much more accurate.

By learning this subject, i'm hoping that 1 day i'm being able to come out with 1 creative idea that are unique compare to others. Also i'm hoping that, by attending this class, i will be able to learn more about myself and my capability. What makes me unique or different from anyone else.

I think thats all i can get from the class on week 01. Its just an introduction and briefing to the class. =D
