(From the textbook) An information system is a group of components that interact to produce information.
The five components of an information system are the following:
Computer hardware
Software
Data
Procedures
People
I do not believe that there may be any electric equipment, from simple to the complex in which these components are not present. We all have been using IS on a daily basis and even I am not far from this. The IS I am going to discuss about, is one where I don’t think that there may be anyone who may have not heard about it i.e. FACEBOOK. This is a website which is used daily to maintain contact with friends and relatives, and even people can update their profiles. There is a procedure with which we can use facebook. First of all, we need a hardware i.e. computer or smart phones, and after that a username and password to log in. Facebook itself is software, which is made by the professionals, and it cannot be run without people. People use it regularly within a 24 hour span and they can share their pictures and messages with everyone.
