and processing data for providing information, knowledge, and digital
products.
• Information system has several parts:

PARTS OF INFORMATION SYSTEM

People Procedure

Software Hardware

Data Internet
PARTS OF INFORMATION SYSTEM

• People: are end users who use computers to make themselves professional.

• Procedures: specify rules or guidelines for computer operation.

• Software: provide step-by-step instruction for computer hardware ( count parts


of software)

• Hardware: include keyboard, mouse…etc. and other devices. ( count parts of


hardware).

• Data: unprocessed facts including text, numbers, images, sound…etc.

• Internet: is a world wide network allows the computer to connect to other


computers around the world.
People

• People are surely the most important


part of any information system.
• People in information system can
work in many careers:
• Webmaster
• Software engineer
• Computer support specialist
• Computer technician
• Technical writer
• Network administrator
HARDWARE

There are four basics categories of hardware in personal


computer:
• System Unit : including micro-processing and memory

• Input and output devices

• Secondary storage : hard disk and optical disk ( CD, DVD,..etc)

• Communication devices: allow the computer to communicate with


other computers via the internet ( modem)
Software

• System software: helps the computer carry out its basic operating tasks.

• Application software: helps the user carry out a variety of specific tasks.
Software

• System software manages the fundamental operations of your computer, such as


loading programs and data into memory, executing programs, saving data to
disks, displaying information on the monitor, and transmitting data through a
port to a peripheral device.

• Application software enables you to perform specific computer tasks, such as


document production, spreadsheet calculations, and database management.

( already discussed in lecture 1)


• Data refers to unprocessed facts, including numbers, figures, sounds, and text.
• Processed data becomes information.
• There are four common type of data:
DATA
• Documents files are created by word processors
• Worksheets file are created by spreadsheet processors
• Presentation file are created by presentation software such as PowerPoint
• Database file are created by database software such as Access
What Is The Different Between Data And
