Creative vs Innovative (3 SBI Giveaway)

in #steemiteducation6 years ago (edited)

I have recently been thinking about the difference regarding creative and innovative.

There are many people who treat these two to be the same but they are really different.

In the 21st century skills that we want our pupils and children to have really is really creativity and innovation to survive and be successful in future jobs that may not even exist this day.

I have decided to have an academic conversation where anyone on the steemit platform can give their personal view about this.

If you do google and find out more about these two, you can easily find out their differences.

Being creative

Creative is really to come up with something totally new and may not necessary be successful.

Since it is so new, it may not necessary be accepted by people around readily since human nature may just want something that has a history of success as a basis of judgement.

Being innovative

Innovative is basically to introduce an improvement or change into an existing product or system that has been around.

Repeated system or traditional ways of doing the same thing may not necessary be effective.

Innovation suggests an improvement to the old and makes it more efficient or profitable.

Creativity or innovation

@steempress-io

We have recently seen wonderful implementation of the use of wordpress using the plugin of @steempress-io.

@howo and @fredrikaa manage to bring the use of wordpress into the steemit platform. Articles created on a WordPress blog can be posted to the Steemit platform using the plugin of steempress.

I have been using steempress for about a week and it really works great.

I am able to write many articles during my free time and save them for future publication.

Inserting pictures was also simple and easy.

This article is also posted via the steempress plugin.

Do you consider steempress plugin a creative or innovative idea?

One may argue from different points of view indeed.

Other great ideas

Steem blockchain has other great ideas like busy.org, @dtube, @dsound, @steem-bounty etc

All these are great ideas that provide many new channels of content to be posted into the steem blockchain.

Are they creative or innovative?

Our pupils

In schools, we want our pupils to be innovative and creative.

It is possible to cultivate both at the same time?

It could be rather hard if both are being focused with dilution.

Which is easier to cultivate then? Innovation or creativity?

Personally I am of the opinion that creativity is the mother of innovation.
Creativity- is to birth something new into existence. Its simply an adjective for create. While

innovation- innovation is going a step further on an existing creative idea.
I'll use the Steemit platform as an example. Its a social platform that is built under the initially BITCOIN (Mother of cryptocurrencies) creativity. Ned looked for a way to create a rewarding and interactive community that can bring people together thereby allowing them earn money from engaging. Something outrightly different from the regular Bitcoin trading. So its safe to then say that Creativity births Innovation.

Good illustration of creativity being the mother of innovation!

Thanks sir. How do o receive it?

You do not need to do anything. It will take some days for approval if you have not been approved before. You can go to @steembasicincome to find out more about it.

This is an interesting topic to debate. To me, I see innovation as the creation, the development of something that is new. This innovation can come in many different ways. It can be the evolution of something that already exists as stated above and developing better ways and methods. It can also be the creation of something completely new and something that has never been thought of before. I think of innovation when people come up with ways to solve problems and advance capabilities. The blockchain world is a great example of innovation as people are looking for a better way build and create on the internet and with the development of crypto, there is an innovative solution to some of the many issues we all have with current technology.

I see creativity as a way of thinking and developing things. It can have to do with absolutely anything you're are involved in. Being able to find new ways to do things and sometimes mixing and matching things in a way that might not have been previously thought of. People often think of the Arts when thinking of creativity but you can be creative in anything you do. I programmer can be creative in terms of the way they make code interact to run a program.

However, I do not see these as two separate and distinct entities. I almost see them as one in the same. To be innovative often takes a great deal of creative thinking. In order to solve problems and improve on current technologies or methods, we need to look at creative interactions and change the way we are currently thinking. I don't think innovation can truly exist without the use of creativity.

Steemit is an innovative social media platform that has given people a way to share and be rewarded unlike in most platforms of the past. It took the creative thinking of developers to come up with the way to interact with the Steem blockchain in order to make this innovative idea work.

In conclusion, this kind of becomes more of a chicken and egg argument. What came first? The creative process that led to an innovative creation of the idea or was in an innovative idea that led to the creativity to make that idea come to fruition? Again, they are not separate but rather very much intertwined together.

Thank you for your great reflective comment!

Hello @fun2learn, you might also want to add that @vornix allows those who do not have a Wordpress account to take advantage of @steempress-io upvotes.

Besides that, personally I think that firstly one has to be creative in order for him or her to create innovation.

Creative as you mentioned, can be a new idea but doesn’t necessarily has to be successful. While innovation is definitely an improvement of previous systems or renditions.

For education wise, I think that it’s extremely crucial for you to infuse creativity in those little kids early. And also letting them know that it’s 100% alright to fail.
The more they fail, the closer they get to a real innovation.

I think that is also how those creators like Jack ma , Mark zuckerberg and Elon musk managed to create innovations. It was because of their non-stop efforts, early failures and their never ending creativity that allowed such innovations to exist today!

Hopefully this 2cents of mine make sense In some way! Or maybe I’m just blabbering nonsense early in the morning 😂

Different people can have different view points. We should not just accept one but have an open mind. Thanks for participating in this discussion!

Hey fun2learn, I think that's one thing bad about me (thanks for highlighting it.)

Often enough, I tend to force down my own beliefs onto others! This acts as a reflection for me to appreciate other's thoughts as well !

Cheers buddy :)

Thank you for your generousity :)

Creativity and Innovation

From your definition and what I've seen so far, creativity and innovation work hand in hand. At the same time, there is a large gap of difference too.
In time past creativity is so imminent in things, but now we are in the era of innovation, a new system built on a preexisting one.
There was the internet (IBM), then a man came and said why can't we have it in every home(innovation), then he designed how it's going to be (creativity).
Then another guy said, aw! Let's make it more advanced(innovation), and name it a fruit(creativity). The most secure computer ever.
The same thing with the steem blockchain, it's an innovation upon the preexisting one(blockchain+internet). Then the numerous plugin and app that are using the steem blockchain code are innovating on it.
If you are very conversant with the world happening, innovation rules further than creativity, creativity wows you, innovation makes you think and pause to ask yourself, how do you arrive at this?

I actually studied Education in the University, I've found that this thing is sometimes inbuilt and can be developed too in children, there are many quantitative and qualitative analysis that a child is made to pass through to develop that in him and sharpen it if he already has, also verbal reasoning. This thing is imbibed into education and is encouraged by the curriculum.

But don't forget, while you're trying to create a new thing, know that you're building on something already built.

Thanks and thanks a lot.
Its a win-win for the two of us.

What's better innovative or creativity? Perhaps this is just similar to *** chicken and egg theory*** that which came first. But I think creativity is the solo thing without which innovations are worthless.Creativity show that a new era of thinking is just about to flow while Innovation symbolize an era at its medival period.

That's only my thoughts Gentleman!
Thank you.

What an innovative way for others to earn while being creative... :))
I actually see the two words being different as creative relates more to being artistic, talented with arts... and innovative relates to inventive, as in ideas or products that helps others! Just my take on these words...

Thank you for drropping by to read my article. You have definitely always been creative in the way you have taken your photographs at different angles and different colour tones. Appreciate our mutual support greatly for sure!
