A management information system (MIS) is a computer-based system provides the necessary information to manage an organization or business effectively. The Management information system has three primary resources: Technology, Information, and People. One of the technology and information components to accomplish MIS is a web page on the internet. The web page contains from hypertext, hypermedia, and also multimedia contents.

Hypertext is the presentation of information as a linked network of nodes which readers are free to navigate in a non-linear fashion. It allows for multiple authors, a blurring of the author and reader functions, extended works with diffuse boundaries, and multiple reading paths. Unlike the typical printed book, which is read sequentially from beginning to end, hypertext is inherently nonlinear: it is comprised of many interlinked chunks of self-contained text. Readers are not bound to a particular sequence, but can browse through information intuitively by association, following their interests by following a highlighted keyword or phrase in one piece of text to bring up another, associated piece of text.

Hypermedia, then, is the generalization of hypertext to include other kinds of media: images, audio clips and video clips are typically supported in addition to text. Individual chunks of information are usually referred to as documents or nodes, and the connections between them as links or hyperlinks the so-called node-link hypermedia model. The entire set of nodes and links forms a graph network. The traditional definition of hypermedia as being `multimedia with links' belies many of the possibilities modern technology now offers.

Another term is multimedia. It uses computers to present text, audio, video, animation, interactive features, and still images in various ways and combinations made possible through the advancement of technology. By combining media and content, those interested in multimedia can take on and work with a variety of media forms to get their content across. This is an exciting new field for those interested in computers, technology, and creative career options. Multimedia can be accessed through computers or electronic devices and integrates the various forms together. One example of multimedia would be combining a website with video, audio, or text images.

Finally the modern ICT is increasingly being developed. It is used in many fields of human activity nowadays. In the education field, the use of ICT itself can be an easier way to improve better access in acquiring teaching goals, such as the use of blog and the use of multimedia contents in teaching. Finally it can improve both teachers and learners ability in mastering certain material.  However, it can be a factor causing the lack of physical interaction and communication among us. So that, we have to be wise in using the ICT in our daily activities.
