Questions about: Information System concept.
-
The concept:
An Information System is a system, automated or manual, that include people, machines and/or organized methods for collect, process, transmit data that represent information.
(It is my translation from Spanish to English -with a little help of google translator-). I will like to know if I understand well the concept. I'm going to type a real example:
Hairdresser appointment: To take an appointment there, you have to go to the hairdresser and say it to the haircutter. Then he write in his diary (physical) the date. NOTE: there are not any technologies, all is MANUAL.
QUESTIONS: Is it an Information System? I think that could be, because include an elements set (people -customer and haircutter- and organized methods -diary-) for collect, process, transmit data that represent information (the haircutter COLLECT the customer's date in his diary, he check if the date is unoccupied -PROCESS- and finally he TRANSMIT THE DATA that represent information to the customer, for example "Ok, remember you have appointment to the hairdresser X date"). Am I understanding well the concept?

Thank you for your answer Richard MacCutchan. I have my own notes about Information System concept (I wrote it from there), I invented a case study related to the concept, to know if I understand well the concept or not.
