Have we utilize the full potential of systems and technology?

System is a set of elements which interact with each other and work together to achieve certain goals. Information is data that has been processed so it can be beneficial to users. So that the management information system can be defined as a computer-based information system that provides information for multiple users with similar needs.

Nowadays in our daily life, informational system is already applied at many fields. Such as, in business, banking, education, health, etc. We live in global era that are very depend on technology. We live with many gadgets like mobile phone, notebook, tablet, etc. I'm sure that many of us sleep with our blackberry, eat with our iPhone, and playing Samsung Galaxy while talking to our friends.
In facts, many of us aren't using our gadgets at full potential. I realized it when my lecturer said this to the class, "Many of you just using your notebook for typing in Ms. Words, your phone for sms and chatting, although the gadgets can do more than that. It means that the gadget is smarter than the users."
I think that is right and i think that it is very ironic that actually the technology can do more than that but the people only use it not very maximal. So, for what they bought that gadget if they can't maximize the use of it?

It is ironic that in our global era when every system is now integrated with computer based, there is still a people that can't maximize the abilities of their devices.
Actually, we often not realize that we actually already use the computer-based information system, like when -we use ATM or we use internet banking to pay school. Those are actually computer-based, but sometimes we aren't realize it. so we still can't maximize the use of that technology because we aren't realized it. So, now it's better for us to learn how to realized that there are already many things with super technology in our daily life, so that we can learn it and maximize the utilize of it.

we must be able to maximize the utilization of this super smartphone
