Technology is a broad concept that deals with human as well as other animal species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species' ability to control and adapt to its environment. However, a strict definition is elusive; "technology" can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines, hardware or utensils, but can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization, and techniques. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include "construction technology", "medical technology", or "state-of-the-art technology".

As what I have seen and observed at the university, the hard wares were fine except that some of the computer units is only capable of receiving and sending information at a limit of 10mbps, which makes the internet connectivity to become slower and inaccessible.

The term innovation refers to a new way of doing something. It may refer to incremental and emergent or radical and revolutionary changes in thinking, products, processes, or organizations. A distinction is typically made between invention, an idea made manifest, and innovation, ideas applied successfully. (Mckeown 2008) In many fields, something new must be substantially different to be innovative, not an insignificant change, e.g., in the arts, economics, business and government policy. In economics the change must increase value, customer value, or producer value. The goal of innovation is positive change, to make someone or something better. Innovation leading to increased productivity is the fundamental source of increasing wealth in an economy.

So, as from what I have understood, innovation is broad, meaning it covers a very large area, which may include one or all of the following fields: arts, economics, economics, business, design, technology, sociology, engineering and business. Innovation means creating and designing new ways and better ways to improve something. In the university's case is, its internet connectivity.
