Get the Information mug.A cheesy, ebullient, woefully outdated term from the 90's, which means "Internet". Coined when all the people were massively wowed by the sheer awesomeness of the Intertubes. Nowadays in disuse unless you use it for comedy.
"With my brand new computer and the Internet, I have all the information I want within a single click of my mouse! If I want to find out how to look after a cat, I just have to type it in a search site, and WHAM! There it goes! How to buy a car? You can find it! Today's newspaper? You bet! Information for my daughter's chemistry paper? The Internet has it! Want to know about my son on student exchange in Norway? No problem! I just write him an e-mail, click "Send", and my letter travels all the way through the Atlantic and reaches him instantly and for free!"

Involving the way information is gathered, processed, and used in a meaningful way.
Computer Science Majors – boast about how many lines of code they can write
Information Systems Majors – boast about how much money they have saved and created for overall business.
Business Majors – boast about their new sports car after high earnings and cut cost - dependent on the performance on their Information Systems which is dependent on Computer Science.
Information Systems creates logical use out of organizing and processing data through information technology.
IS makes CS useful
IS makes Business actually work (and increasingly so in the new Information Era)
Top IS programs: MIT and Carnegie Mellon
IS has yet to find a permanent home in the School of Computer Science, Business, Humanities
Professionals in IS who are really good at what they do are an asset to any company and are normally paid accordingly. Or can leave and find their place somewhere else (sometime creating their own business – usually successful)
IS professionals also have bigger hard drives than CS and Business professionals as well as cocks.

No dude, our Information Systems does that automatically now.
CFO: "we need to be able to process 9 million transactions integrated with EDI and have our production line update automatically while being able to offer real time analysis and GPS tracking as well as electronic invoicing. Oh, and if one thing does not work correctly (even if the correct way contradicts our business logic) YOU ARE FIRED"
CIO: "Okay"

Get the informationable mug.The word "ignorant" is merely defined as lacking knowledge. It doesn't mean "stupid" like people tend to think. For example: you travel to a foreign country where a "thumbs up" is an insulting gesture. You are ignorant to this fact and give your waiter a thumbs up when he asks how everything is. This doesn't mean you are stupid, you are just ignorant to the culture. Therefore, "ignorant" is an inorbant word because it has a bad connotation. Another example is the word "manipulative". This tends to have a bad connotation, however, manipulating a situation could be a good thing. Manipulative is another inorbant word - it is unfairly attached to a bad trait

Get the Inorbant mug.The "back side of the Internet", the opposite of Al Gore's Information Superhighway. The meeting place for all the defecations of information that are the byproduct of giving billions of people unfettered access to the World Wide Web. Tends to overflow when certain events occur such as the capture of a terrorist or celebrity motorcycle accidents. Flows downhill to nowhere in particular.
