Information system

Information systems, an integrated set of components for collecting, storing, and processing data and for providing information, knowledge, and digital products. Business firms and other organizations rely on information systems to carry out and manage their operations, interact with their customers and suppliers, and compete in the marketplace. Information system s are used to run inter organizational supply chains  and electronic markets.For instance,   corporations use information systems to process financial accounts, to manage their human resources, and to reach their potential customers  with online promotions. many major companies are built entirely around information systems. These include eBay, a largely auction marketplace; Amazon, an expending electronic mall and provider of cloud computing services; Alibaba, a business-to-business e-marketplace; and Google, a search engine company that drives most of its revenue from keyword advertising o internet searches.Government deploy information systems to provide services cost-effectively to citizens. Digital goods__such as electronic books, video products, and software__and online services, such as gaming and social networking, are deliver with information systems, generally internet based, for conducting much of their personal lives: for socializing, study, shopping, banking, and entertainment. 

As major new technologies for recording and processing information were invented over the millennia, new capabilities appeared, and people became empowered. The invention of the printing-press by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century and the invention of a mechanical calculator by Blaise Pascal in the 17th century are but two examples. These inventions led to a profound revolution in the ability to record, process, disseminate, and reach for information and knowledge. This led, in turn, to even deeper changes in individual lives, business  organization, and human governance.

The first large-scale mechanical information system was Herman Hollerith's census tabulator. Invented in time to process the 1890 U.S.census, Hollerith's machine represented a major step in automation, as well as an inspiration to develop computerized information systems.

Marine pollution

Marine pollution, One of the biggest threats to our oceans is man-made pollution. Discarded plastics and other residential waste, discharge from pesticides and industrial chemicals eventually find their way into sea with devastating consequences for marina life and habitats they depends on. Shopping accidents and oil spills add additional toxins to the mix.       It is estimated that a staggering 80 per cent of marine pollution originates on land. Land- based pollutants__such as agricultural run-off and nutrients from sewage outflow - are contributing to ocean 'dead zones' - areas which can no longer sustain life because they are law or zero oxygen. There are some 500 of these dead zones around the world.     In addition, rapid urbanization along the world's coastlines has seen the growth of coastal ' megacities' ( cities with a population of 10 million or more). In 2012, thirteen of world's 20 megacities were situated  along coasts. Many of these
