"Feedback: Electronic agents may be our servants using feedback mathematics that won World War II based on an idea from France's vineyards where the Humane Society began while a doctor in Michigan created cornflakes. What's in a name?: A breakfast leads to corn cob garbage used for 'furfan' which creates resin for bonding that leads to inventing the tractor and diesal engine and to the creation of the Smithsonian in Washington, DC."--Container.
