1. Visit the http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/tech/article/the-pc-is-dead-long-live-the-tablet/ 

What does it tell us about the process of invention and innovation? 

2. And this one http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20071644. Ask yourself what kind of environment, situation etc., would make you to become a creative/inventive/innovative person?

Open discussion and expression! write, sing, draw, make image...

1. In deed that tablet will surpassed the number of desktop in near future. From the battle of gadgets, we can see that there will be new invention coming everyday. But if you stop to innovate, you will be left behind your competitor.

For example, PC is a great invention and no one doubt it. Everyone will have think the same that PC will dominate everyone's home back in the 90s. But, invention is just coming out rapidly, smartphone, tablet, touchscreen and etc.  PC is not able to innovate fast enough and has let the new invention of tablet to takes it marketshare as the world most use platform. Now, people in the future might not even have use a PC before if they were born in this era. If tablet is not able to have new innovation, I will not be surprise if new invention is going to takes it place in the future.

2. Since it is open discussion, before I ask myself what kind of environment, situation etc., would make you to become a creative/inventive/innovative person I would like to ask my lecturer what makes you think that creative, inventive and innovative is linked? And how does the link given is related to this question?

I see no reason why a non-creative person can't invent and why a inventor must be innovative?

In my opinion, in order to be creative, you don't need any specific environment or situation. Is either you born with it or you just imitate others creativity.

From the BBC article, it seems like invention happen whenever a person try to solve problem. To solve such problem , inventor have a problem solving mindset to invent the solution. For example, in order to learn from mistake in air crash he must have all the information before the crash happen. In order to do that, a blackbox is invented to collect information of the flight and event occur during the flight. Hence, problem solved.

Innovation is what it takes to bring your invention to the audience. It is not provided by any kind of environment or situation but is up to the inventor does he want or not? Do he have the business mindset to put up the strategic to innovate  a new value for his invention.
