Group Project: The metaphor; Innovation of Technology.

If we talk about technology, we cannot leave it without talking about innovation.  Without innovation, technological world cannot ever be developing. Same goes to Creative Multimedia, Innovation In technology means a lot in the development in Multimedia. The direct impact that we can see is of course in the software and hardware that used for making the multimedia creative. There are many innovations, and the professionals are still innovating the more functional and more efficient tools for Multimedia. For example, years ago, we can only play games by using joysticks, pressing the buttons and then the machine will do the command, but now, with the awesome innovations, now the consoles can let us control the game with our motion and it feels so realistic. Another real example is in the cinema. Lately, they innovated the 3D movie system where we can feel the 3D movies with using the special glasses. Who knows? In the future we could watch or play games just by wearing cool glasses and then control it with our mind. All of that will not be happening if there is no innovation within the technology.  So, technology will always be attached with innovation, same goes to creative multimedia which use technology a lot.

Metaphor:

I use SOUL as my metaphor how Innovation relates to technology.

So, basically, Innovation to Technology is like a soul to a body. Where we can say that without a soul, a body means nothing, it cant do any single thing, it will stay there forever without doing nothing significants. Same goes to Technology, without innovation, there will be no technology, everything will be just how it is, no changes and development.

Here you can see the innovations that has been made from time to time by the pro's in gaming system:

Innovation in Creative Multimedia

What is Innovation?

Innovation comes from the Latin innovationem, noun of action from innovare. The Etymology Dictionary further explains innovare as dating back to 1540 and stemming from the Latin innovatus, pp. of innovare "to renew or change," from in- "into" + novus "new".

Innovation can therefore be seen as the process that renews something that exists and not, as is commonly assumed, the introduction of something new. Furthermore this makes clear innovation is not an economic term by origin, but dates back to the middle Ages at least. Possibly even earlier.

The central meaning of innovation thus relates to renewal. For this renewal to take place it is necessary for people to change the way they make decisions, they must choose to do things differently, make choices outside of their norm. Schumpeter c.s. (~1930) seems to have stated that innovation changes the values onto which the system is based. So when people change their value (system) the old (economic) system will tumble over to make room for the new one. When that happens innovation has occurred. So innovation must be seen as something that does not something that is

On a lower level, innovation can be seen as a change in the thought process for doing something, or the useful application of new inventions or discoveries.^[1] It may refer to incremental, emergent, or radical and revolutionary changes in thinking, products, processes, or organizations. Following Schumpeter (1934), contributors to the scholarly literature on innovation typically distinguish between invention, an idea made manifest, and innovation, ideas applied successfully in practice. In many fields, such as the arts, economics andgovernment policy, something new must be substantially different to be innovative. In economics the change must increase value, customer value, or producer value. The goal of invention is positive change, to make someone or something better. Invention and introduction of it that leads to increased productivity is the fundamental source of increasing wealth in an economy.

Innovation is an important topic in the study of economics, business, entrepreneurship, design, technology, sociology, and engineering. Colloquially, the word "innovation" is often synonymous with the output of the process.

However, economists tend to focus on the process itself, from the origination of an idea to its transformation into something useful, to its implementation; and on the system within which the process of innovation unfolds. Since innovation is also considered a major driver of the economy, especially when it leads to new product categories or increasing productivity, the factors that lead to innovation are also considered to be critical to policy makers. In particular, followers of innovation economics stress using public policy to spur innovation and growth.

Those who are directly responsible for application of inventions are often called pioneers in their field, whether they are individuals or organizations. When pioneers are followed by many other the dominant value system may be replaced by the new one. When this happens innovation has occurred a posteriori.
