Reflective One Minute Paper
After watching the lecture and listened to buzz words such as Cybernetics, Homeostasis, and how they are related to Feedback, Information System, and Information Technology made me wonder what more I can discover about the relatively between such methodologies.
I was very excited at the beginning of this module especially it's talking about something I'm interested in and I was worried at the same time. In the last two decades, many discoveries and inventions related to information technology and systems created and developed rapidly which making following up with all these pieces of knowledge kind of a challenge.

"We believe that the essence of a system is togetherness, the drawing together of various parts and the relationships they form in order to produce a new whole that will have its own structure, behavior, and life cycle."
-What are the things you have learned during this session?
As I was expected, the lecture of "introduction information system and systems thinking" by Dr. David Kreps didn't disappoint me. I learned about Cybernetics, Norbert Weiner, and how he become known as 'The Father of Cybernetics', and his exciting achievements. Moreover, how 'Feedback' is a principle of cybernetics. And I will not forget the tremendous journey Dr. David took me through the history of systems thinking.
-What question(s) remain uppermost in your mind?
At the end of the lecture session, I left with few questions in mind, such as:
How can Cybernetics definitionally fit nowadays with the existing generation of robotics, and the smart of things?
Do we still preserve the action of Feedback (action-reaction), or it should be predefined to Pre-Feedback (outline-reaction)?
How can we allocate AI and IoT within all the exciting methodologies and concepts?
-Is there anything you did not understand?
I mentioned earlier in my post that we are in a flash era, I would appreciate if such material will be revised yearly especially nowadays, we are seeing new, modified or updated concepts, theories, and ideas coming if it's not every quarter at least every year.
