Information System






An information system(IS) is any combination of information technology and people's activities using that technology to support operations, management, and decision making.



Five fundamental components of computer-based information systems are:

  1. Computer Hardware
  2. Software
  3. Data
  4. Procedures
  5. People

The IS which I am talking about is Facebook. According to me, there's nobody left in this world who don't know about it. It is being used all around the world.

This IS is used by the people mostly on day to day bases. To access you free account on Facebook you need to have the computer which is the hardware, and then you need the user name and password which is the software, which connects you to the people of whole world. It keeps the data of its users in the form of information of the person, images, videos, etc. For having account in this you have to sign up in the facebook.

Facebook is social networking website, so it makes very easy for you to connect with your friends who are far away from you, even there are communities, which can reconnects you to your school or helps you to establish the business contacts. It is really very helpful information system.
