The maker subculture is a contemporary subculture, representing a technology-based extension of DIY culture.
Typical interests enjoyed by the maker subculture include engineering-oriented pursuits such as electronics,
robotics, 3-D printing, and the use of CNC tools, as well as more traditional activities such as metalworking,
woodworking, and traditional arts and crafts. The subculture stresses new and unique applications of technologies,
and encourages invention and prototyping.There is a strong focus on using and learning practical skills and applying them creatively.
An invention is a unique or novel device, method, composition or process. It may be an improvement upon a machine or product,
or a new process for creating an object or a result. An invention that achieves a completely unique function or result may
be a radical breakthrough. Such works are novel and not obvious to others skilled in the same field.
The idea for an invention may be developed on paper or on a computer, by writing or drawing, by trial and error, by making models,
by experimenting, by testing and/or by making the invention in its whole form. Brainstorming also can spark new ideas for an invention.
Collaborative creative processes are frequently used by designers, architects and scientists. In the social sciences, an
innovation is anything better and, as a result, new and it has been adopted.
The theory for adoption of an innovation, called diffusion of innovations, considers the likelihood that an innovation
will ever be adopted and the taxonomy of persons likely to adopt it or spur its adoption. This theory was first put forth by
Everett Rogers. Gabriel Tarde also dealt with the adoption of innovations in his Laws of Imitation.
