The American physiologist Walter Cannon used the term Homeostasis to describe the body’s ability to maintain a constant stable internal environment despite the changes to the external surrounding1‚2. The body has a range of receptors these are used to constantly monitor the body’s internal conditions to keep them in physiological limits. To achieve this‚ every organ works together and thus the body works together as a whole. This requires body to communicate with the organs‚ this is established through

Feedback = Response from environment; indication if problem has been solved. The concept of feedback is linked to cybernetics: Communication that helps a source control a receiver’s behavior. This can be understood through the analogy of a furnace thermostat * rooted in environmental effects * initiated by decision-making about the environment (setting the room temperature) * responsive to environment (changing the setting based on inside or outside temperatures) Open & Closed Systems

Finally‚ there had been many other intelligent machines before computers such as the thermostat‚ the electrical system in a car‚ flying machines‚ radio‚ TV‚ electricity and so on. However‚ he concedes that computers have had a big impact in science and engineering since it is cheaper and more efficient to use computational models in research
