What do you understand by the term innovation?

I think of something that is leading the way, boldly going where no one has gone before.

There is a large amount of material about this on the internet. What exactly you are looking for, I do not know. I do not intend to write your term paper for you. Take a look at the web sites below to start. \n\nI will note that inventions are usually about technology, which is not the same as science. Technology can be used to produce better measurements. And applied science can produce technology. But they are not the same.

Realistically? The search for knowledge has led to, or had a significant contribution to, the development of microwaves, radar, radio, superconductivity, computers, refridgeration, digital cameras, the internet and much more. When the theories that underpin most of these inventions were first discovered and tested, many people asked the same question - how does this help me? And then 20 years later some clever engineer invents a little box that heats up food. So give it time - almost every invention know to man once started as someone saying "I wonder how this works?"

What do you know about it?

It is the developing of technologies on the molecular scale in the field of biology. That's really the only way to describe it, I think. Why not look it up on wikipedia?

I have no  idea. How do you know about r&d.

We don't really understand what you mean ... can you explain?

mental ability to develop innovation.\n\n*yes, i am creative\n*It can not be copied, but developed and boosted in childhood with a positive enviroment.\n*If you copy, then you are not being innoative, therefore not creative.\n*Thinking outside the box is not being ordinary, not an average joe

Look man, I´m really interested no matter how many ideas are already out there.  \n\nBut I must say...until you have a means of materializing...we just will never know, now will we?

As quoted on wikipedia for INVENTION:\n\n"An invention is an object, process, or technique which displays an element of novelty. An invention may sometimes be based on earlier breakthroughs, collaborations or ideas, and the process of invention requires at least the awareness that an existing concept or method can be modified or transformed into a new invention. However, some inventions also represent a "quantum leap" in science or technology which extends the boundaries of human knowledge. Legal protection can sometimes be granted to an invention by way of a patent."\n\nThe keywords here are "Displays an element of novelty". A computer displays such a novelty. Before the computer there was no such idea in place that would describe a computer. It started out an idea and humanity created it out of necessity and out of curiosity. Expanding the limits of humanities own knowledge.\n\nSecond point is that it was based on earlier breakthroughs in the fields of electronics, the principle of electricity and the "invention" of the switch.\n\nBecause of its novelty, the fundamentals of a computer are protected by patents, thousands of them. So if you apply this principle to the computers parts, you could say that a computer is a product of thousands of inventions.\n\nBy taking something known and extending it further than has been done before, that right there says a computer is an invention. The computer has also spawned inventions itself... like the invention of Yahoo Answers!

You could make a discussion both ways. It needs creativity, but it is also a science. You need to adapt and inspire (creativity), while working methodically and logically to increase productivity (science)

Well you have to think about it yourself. You can get ideas from the book, "How Things Work", which will help you with parts of an invention, but the actual thing is on you.

Thanks for the invite. Interesting site.\n\nRe: technology - Don't rely on any tool you don't know how to make.

Take the experience of a well-known cell phone manufacturer we’ll call CellTech. In the mid-1990s, CellTech was at the top of its game. But later in the decade, new players flooded the market, and analog cell phones slipped along the product lifecycle curve toward commoditization. CellTech sought to stem its shrinking margins by developing the next wave of industry innovation: digital cell phones. \n\nAlthough CellTech had a new business strategy, it lagged in devising a new people strategy to support it. The company neither acquired nor developed the skills in its workforce that would enable it to create and produce the new technology in time. Because CellTech had never developed the human capital strategy process that would have enabled it to anticipate a new workforce need based on a changing business strategy, it was unable to execute its plan in a timely way. It lost significant market share and millions in potential revenues.
