Document Summary
Appropriate solutions balance needs and constraints of all four. Information = when data has semantic value attached to it (ex. population of canada is 35 million) Wisdom = applying knowledge & making ethical decisions about it. Technology less good at knowledge and wisdom- you want to get a job utilizing knowledge + wisdom so you are not replaced (ex. elevator operators are no longer a job) = any organized system for the collection, organization, storage, and communication of info. It transmits data (data alone is pointless) It helps structure data into information (which has more semantic value) But it alone doesn"t work- info systems are social, political systems. Purpose of is: make work easier, store, collect, distribute, process data to make educated decisions. How many an organization needs depends on their size. Data is provided, computer transforms it, transformed data is returned. Output data usually then become inputs for other processes = feedback loops.
