Today there was a ton of people wanting to share their "Tech Reports". I am guessing about half the class reported today. The one that stood out most to me was the report on the new artificial kidney in the works. That would be a tremendous achievement in medical technology if they are able to someday perfect that.
The lecture today covered "information systems" and their basic activities (input, processing, output, storage and control). We also learned about cybernetic systems which are self-monitoring systems (i.e. air heating/cooling systems). We also discussed a couple of case studies which showed how helpful, if not vital, information systems can be and how it is important to have a backup plan in the case that your information system accidentally crashed.
