I have seen some good responses and I like to add my take on it:
GIS is computer technology that helps you say, "What it is, Where it is,
How big or long it is, What it is next to, and What is above or below it, in
an effort to help you know what to do with it or about it." Add
software/hardware and data and you've got a description.

P.S.
I hope that the punctuation is correct.
