This is what I went back to college to study (via http://informatics.iupui.edu/informatics/):
“Informatics goes beyond hardware and software. Informatics thinks big picture, studying how the world uses technology to communicate, work and engage. Then it goes a step further, applying that knowledge to solve real issues facing business, healthcare, science, law, the arts and entertainment.”
