Keeping your critical thinking ON, you still might benefit from some commonality of conceptual knowledge among people allowing for productive discussions and work.
So here I want to emphasize that not only IS are systems, but that they make systems out of non-systems by connecting things and processes together in a new mutually beneficial way. This is a new power of business growth: not by using more resources, but including more stuff in the orbit of their networks.
The reason why we use quite a few software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools in this course is that many of them are free, easy to use, and are very powerful mechanisms of connecting things, processes, and people over the Internet. They are the modern resources of organizational and individual power. Simple hardware, like smartphones and publically available software services can allow individuals to have full office support on the run (go mobile, like you can do with this course). Mafia understood the benefits of being connected long ago :)
