Why organize information? What impact does this have in today's society? During class, we were introduced to information systems which can be describes as "a set of people, procedures, and resources that collects, transforms, and disseminates information in an organization." Businesses use this system to keep an organized, well maintained company. Within information systems, the two common terms used are data and information. By branching these two terms, we're already organizing the aspects of information systems.
Have you ever thought of how much you encounter organized things on a daily basis? We use notebooks for our different classes to help keep everything in that subject together. Our phones are organized from contacts, messages, pictures, etc. Our clothes are organized [well mine are ;-)]. our house is organized. You have a certain place to sleep, eat, watch television, etc. All of these everyday organizations helps make things easier.
So why organize information? Organizing information enables easier access at a later date. As a business major, understanding information systems is imperative. I have to have everything organized from my finances to the number of customers received on a monthly basis. So would you rather have organized information to make things easier on yourself, or would you rather spend EXTRA time looking for it? You be the judge.
