Day 2 - Getting into the swing of things

Day 2 of Info Systems was good, and I'm glad we are supposed to "pretend" that we understand until we actually do. When taking calculus in high school, my teacher would always say "get on the calculus bus!" And every day she would let us know if we were walking to the bus stop, if we were at the bus stop, or if we were actually boarding. I think I'm still waiting for the IS bus to arrive.

I enjoyed learning about the differences of E-Commerce and E-Business, the Internet and the Worldwide Web, as well as IS and IT. I seem to have always these sets of terms synonymously, so it was interesting to hear which factors contributed to each. Another thing I found valuable was the importance of having both efficiency and effectiveness, but noting that if it has to be one over the other, it makes more sense to be effective rather than efficient. That's all for my second review..looking forward to the rest of the semester!
