Internet

  • Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that uses internet protocol suite.
  • It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business and government networks of local to global scope that is linked by a broad array of technologies.
  • It carries a vast range of information resources and services such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications.

Information systems

  • Information systems (IS) are formal, sociotechnical, organizational systems designed to collect, process, store, and distribute information.
  • In a sociotechnical perspective, information systems are composed by four components which include task, people, structure (or roles), and technology.
  • A computer information system is a system composed of people and computers that processes or interprets information.
  • The term is also sometimes used in more restricted senses to refer to only the software used to run a computerized database or to refer to only a computer system.
