2 QUESTIONS Where has feedback been applied? Was it successful? What about gambling?

3 The concept of feedback is very old A feedback loop is created when all or some portions of the output is sent back to the input. A device is said to an operating open loop, if no output feedback is being employed and a closed loop, if feedback is being used.
