Information Systems and Their Application

Information Technology (IT) involves computers, storage, networking, and processes for creating, processing, storing, securing, and exchanging electronic data.
Information systems are interconnected components that collect, process, store, and disseminate information to support decision-making.
New technologies create new environments and situations that need consideration of ethical implications, user rights, and innovator rights.

The use of information systems significantly impacts human behavior, daily activities, and how we live, work, and learn.
Ethical concerns include privacy, security, information gathering, and digital ownership.
