Get the Total Information Awareness mug.by jennapwndu October 23, 2009
Get the Informational mug.The major for people that aren't smart enough to handle computer science.
Typically involving idiots that want to work for a large company, sit in a cubicle, and work for people that don't typically understand a thing about computers (other than the fact that they can look at pr0n with them).
This is usually ok as a typical IS major is only a notch or two above their computer illiterate coworkers.
Typical IS tasks: Helping their boss figure out how to change the font on their word document, creating a 'database' using an Excel spreadsheet, helping their boss erase the lemonparty.com history item off their workstation.
While not all IS majors are bad or stupid people, the sad truth is that the bad and stupid ones often end up in charge of actual computer scientists because they 'know tech'

I wanted to work in computers but all that math, science, and actually understanding shit was too hard, so I went into Information Systems.

Get the Information Systems mug.Hiding or depriving individuals or groups of people of facts to keep them ignorant and powerless. Individuals and organizations do that to protect themselves, to monopolize power, or to more easily take advantage of others.
I think it's safe to say that at some point and to varying degrees everybody practices information deprivation against those they interact with in order to trick them.

Get the information skyway mug.1. The use of information as a weapon.

3. Undermining Advertising.
2. Countering government propaganda.
3. Undermining Advertising.
1. Many people don't wish society to continue as it is, but, having no physical weapons or a desire to use them, resort to informationism to effect change.
2. It's good informationism to keep pointing out that there were no links between the former Iraqi Dictator, Saddam Hussein and Al-Quaeda, or WMD in Iraq.
3. In a world where truth is defined by those who can afford to spend the most money to have their version of it advertised widely, we must rely on informationism to present a balanced view.
