After reading the material from the links that have been recommended by Mr. Rudi, I tried to summarize the important subject matters relating to the management of information systems. The MIS concentration prepares students to excel professionally and contribute meaningfully to the knowledge or information economy of the 21st century. MIS professionals bring technology and business together to deliver information solutions that help organizations meet their goals. This is a system that provides information needed to manage organizations effectively. (Source: http://www.sjsu.edu/isystems/)

We are very familiar with what is called HTML. HTML which stands for Hyper Text MarkupLanguage, is the predominant markup language for web pages. HTML is the basic building-blocks of webpages.The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and compose them into visual or audible web pages. (Source: http://vincentpage.blogspot.com/)

We should know about hypertext and hypermedia. Hypertext is basically the same as regular text. It can be stored, read, searched, or edited with an important exception. Hypertext is text with pointers to other text. Besides that, hypermedia is a superset of hypertext. Hypermedia documents contain links not only to other pieces of text, but also to other forms of media like sounds, images, and movies. Hypermedia simply combines hypertext and multimedia.

We often find the word multimedia in our daily life. Multimedia is the field concerned with the computer-controlled integration of text, graphics, drawings, still and moving images (video), animation, audio, and any other media where every type of information can be represented, stored, transmitted and processed digitally. A Multimedia Application is an Application which uses a collection of multiple media sources e.g. text, graphics, images, sound/audio, animation and/or video. Hypermedia can be considered as one of the multimedia applications. (Source:http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/ISE_Multimedia/node10.html)

Reflection:

I studied management information system. I think that we should not be outdated. Technology and information system will help us to develop ourselves. This system opens the window brighter for our future. Having academic knowledge without technological knowledge is also be ineffective. Our task is to compile both of them to be a sophisticated compilation. We are going to be people who will be looked for by others if we serve of what is needed by the world.
