MIS is important because it allows people to share and create more information that could help others for even better ideas for information technology that could be used in the future. People who work in companies that need to use MIS will have a better platform for using the information they've learned to create even greater ideas. For example, before Facebook became a networking website, it started as just a site for University goers to create a profile on and rate people’s attractiveness. That site later branched into a public networking website used for friends, family and other forms of networking. With the format of the idea for the website. Mark Zuckerberg was able to create a worldwide phenomenon. Through information systems and formatting he was able to use the same concepts from the original website uses and change the format into a website that became widely successful.
Without information systems certain applications on Apple computers may have never been thought of or created for students or any users to come by them.
An individual once used MIS and asked the question, “How do we create something equivalent to Microsoft word for MAC users?” The Mac application Pages, for example, is another form of Microsoft Word that can be used very similarly to help Mac users create word documents on a device that does not come with Microsoft Word. The formatting of this computer application came from the usage of MIS and someone who new the standardization of creating such an application that could be user friendly on a Mac computer for any user that doesn’t use a PC computer.
Without the use of information from a prior operating system, there wouldn’t have been a Pages application created as a replica for Microsoft word for students like me to use for school. People have found that without certain applications on computers for high school, or college students like me, people will not bother to invest in a product that cannot do the job. ith using MIS a manager can easily communicate with their employees and make sure their employees are up to speed on information. If new information is added and can be sent out to other employees everyone in the company will be on the same page and more progress can be made at a faster route with combined information.
If there is something wrong with a company’s website, for example if Facebook or a twitter account was hacked, an individual could reach out through MIS to multiple individual
who could help fix the glitch or problem. If a twitter account is hacked, an individual can get the message to someone who can use MIS to get the message out or to hopefully fix the problem by shutting down the account and make others aware in the workforce of that problematic encounter.
Recently Apple has has a virus that has spread to several iPhone’s and Apple was able to create an update fix the issue with phones that hopefully were not affected. the company came up with a public announcement to all iphone users that the phone update will protect them from the virus. The signal sent out through MIS was a crucial and costly situation as iPhone users would have to pay for hundred dollars out of pocket if their phone was effected by that particular virus. This was one of the first times Apple has had to deal with an issue that caused many to panic over their use of the product. With the use of MIS employees were able to transport importnat information and relay the issue with one another to fix the problem. Once an application was made to fix the issue with the global virus Apple sent out a downloadable fix to every iPhone. Through MIS and other uses of informations systems technology people are able to adapt and connect with world around them. MIS has created and set standards for years to come and will hopefully always live on in the technological world.
