Examples include rewinding video tapes, erasing blackboards, and switching headlights, etc.
Finally, numerical simulation is presented in setction 5. The return of multiple balls to the urn gives a crude model for contagion, whereby the occurrence of an event such as selection of a red ball makes the future occurrence of similar events more likely.
