Creating something
What is sometimes needed for a complex system
Human intervention
What is output

used to create designs across all technologies and to evaluate designs
What shapes technological development
Creative thinking
Why is human intervention sometimes needed in a complex system
To correct malfunctions
What is input
The resources used by the system
What is a closed-loop system
an automatic control system in which an operation, process, or mechanism is regulated by feedback

What is development and quality control
The use of technology sometimes helps to improve personal lives by lessening threats such as disease, toil, or ignorance.
What is a complex system
