The purpose of the assignment is to give you the opportunity to explore the applicability of the Module to your own life, work, and place in space and time, and to experiment with the Module to see how the otherwise academically rigorous presentation of a topic may, with more or less work and/or trauma, become “up close and personal”. This is done in a number of different ways — sometimes cumulative papers, sometimes practical hands-on experimentation with a tool of some sort, sometimes reflections on a place of work or life. The common thread is personal application, aimed at demonstrating a cumulative knowledge and understanding of the class material.
For this assignment, the Project will take the form of encounters with online Internet-based resources of various forms but with the purpose of identifying different types of information systems that are being used in the real world.
Here you can find information about the different types of information systems available out there.

After reading the definitions and browsing these web sites PC Magazine, http://www.pcmag.com/ and CIO.com, http://www.cio.com/ for real applications of information systmes, do the following:
Please write a 2-3 page paper, structured as follows (please use these headings):
•Define an information system and types of information systems
•Provide three examples of information systems used in real life (from your experience or from the sites you visited) and tell us what type of information systems they (for example, an information system used by a cashier in a grocery store is a transaction processing system because it registers all the transactions).
•How this is related to the learning objectives ?
