Give examples of information systems and automated information systems. How do they differ from each other?
What will be an ideal response?
An information system does not have to be automated; the processing of data into information can be done manually. Creating a report (balance sheet) manually without the aid of a computer could be considered an information system. The post office had been in operation for decades, with all the sorting and processing done manually, without using computers. Automated information systems use electronic devices to process data into information, and store and disseminate it on request. Today most information systems are automated.
