Benchmark M: Technological systems include input, processes, output, and at times,feedback.
The input consistsof the resources that flow into a technological system. The preocessis the systematic sequence of actions that combines resources to produce an output- encodingm reproducing, designing or propagating, for example. The output is the end result, which can have either a positive or negative impact. Feedback is information used to monitor or control a system. A system often includes a component that permits revising or refining the system when the feedback informaiton suggests such action. For example, the fuel level indicator of a car is a feedback system that lets the user know when the system needs additonal fuel.
