1. We all interact with various information systems every day: at the grocery store, at work, at school, even in our house (at least some of us). Make a list of the different information systems that you had interacted before. See if you can identify the technologies, people, and processes involved in making these systems work.

2. Do you agree that we are in a post-PC stage in the evolution of information systems? Some people argue that we will always need the personal computer, but that it will not be the primary device used for manipulating information. Others think that a whole new era of mobile and biological computing is coming. Do some small research and make your prediction about what business computing will look like in the next generation.

3. Can Information Systems Bring Competitive advantages? (Answer based on your own understanding)
