1. Explain the parts of an information system. What part do people play in this syst
em?
An information system is made up of six components. Because humans use inform
ation systems in our daily lives, such as commerce, medical, education, and enterta
inment, people are the most crucial component of an information system.
In most circumstances,
the terms software and program are equivalent; nonetheless, there are two types of
software: system software and applications. Supercomputers, mainframe computer
s, midrange computers, and personal computers are all examples of hardware. Data
is unprocessed information that may
be saved in files electronically. Processed data is transformed into information, whi
ch is stored in four different sorts of files: document files, worksheet files, and data
base files. Intern.

2 . What is system software? What kinds of programs are included in system softw
are?
System software is a type of computer program that is designed to run
a computer's hardware and application programs. System software allows applicati
on software to communicate with computer hardware via an interface that allows c
omputer users to engage with applications. Background software assists in resource
management and includes a variety of applications such as the operating system, ut
ilities, and device drivers.
The operating system manages computer resources, displays a user interface, and e
xecutes programs. Utilities is a program that manages computer resources. Antivir
us software is the most important utility tool for protecting your computer from vir
uses and harmful malware. Device drivers are software programs that allow a com
puter's input or output device to connect with the rest of the system.
3. Define and compare generalpurpose applications, specialized applications and a
pps. Describe some different types of generalpurpose applications. Describe some t
ypes of specialized applications.
General-purpose programs, such as Microsoft Word,
Excel, and PowerPoint, are examples of general-purpose applications. Specialized
applications, such as graphics and web writing, focus on specialized subjects and v
ocations. Apps for mobile devices or tablets are developed for social networking, g
aming, music, and video. Programs like Adobe Illustrator, Mozilla Firefox,
Microsoft Office, and others are examples of specialized apps.
4. Describe the different types of computers. What is the most common type? What
are the types of personal computers?
Starting with supercomputers, which are the most powerful; particularly high-
capacity computers used in extremely big organizations, there are four basic types
of computers. Then there are mainframe computers, which have a high processing
speed and data storage capacity and are housed in specially connected, air-
conditioned rooms where insurance firms handle data on millions of policyholders.
Midrange computers, sometimes known as servers, have processing capabilities
that are less powerful than those of a mainframe computer but more powerful than
those of a desktop computer. They are now used to assist or service end users with
specific needs such as obtaining data from a database or providing access to
applications software.
Personal computers are the least powerful but most extensively used and fastest
growing form of computer. PCs are divided into four groups. Desktops are tiny
enough to put on top of a desk but large enough to transport. Laptops and notebook
computers are small, light, and fit easily into most briefcases. Tablet computers,
such as the iPad, are smaller, lighter, and less powerful than laptop computers, and
they include a virtual keyboard. Smartphones are the most prevalent handhelds,
and they contain a whole computing system.
5. What is connectivity? What is a computer network?
Computer's connectivity refers to its capacity to share data with other computers.
A computer network is a collection of computers linked together by cables, optical
fibers, or optical connections so that different devices may communicate with one
another.
6. What are the Internet and the Web?
The internet is a worldwide network of interconnected computer networks. It is the
underpinning technology that allows computers, phones, gaming consoles, smart
home equipment, servers, and other network-capable devices to communicate with
one another regardless of their location.
The Word Wide Web provides multimedia interface to resources on the Internet.
7. What is cloud computing, the wireless revolution and IoT?
The supply of computer services over the Internet ("the cloud"), including servers,
storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence, in order to
provide speedier innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical items (or "things") that are
implanted with sensors, software, and other technologies in order to connect and
exchange data with other devices and systems through the internet. These devices
range in complexity from common household items to sophisticated industrial
instruments.
The transport of data between two or more sites that are not physically linked is
known as wireless communication. A computer, phone, or other wireless device is
an example of a wireless device.
Thanks to mobile gadgets that allow us to contact with each other at any time and
from anywhere, the globe has become a lot smaller place. We can now operate
more effectively than ever before since we are no longer tethered to projects by
wires or cables.
8. Give me explanation for an Information System ( for your understanding )
A formal, sociotechnical, organizational system designed to gather, process, store,
and disseminate information is referred to as an information system. Task, people,
structure (or roles), and technology are the four components of information
systems from a sociotechnical perspective. Information systems are described as a
set of components that work together to gather, store, and process data, with the
data being utilized to offer information, add to knowledge, and create digital
products that aid decision-making.
