I really didn't find this particular query to be odd at all. From the subject being searched, I can only infer that this is a person who is neither web developer nor a programmer. It would seem a logical leap to presume this is a current or soon to be college student curious about what all of these terms actually mean in relation to what they want to do. I know that while I was in school I was(and still at times) confused about what it all meant - IT, CS, Web Dev, Software Engineering... Although this searcher will likely start to become more comfortable with all of these terms and disciplines as well as begin to understand how they relate and how they differ, it is a bit daunting when you first start out to identify what term actually describes what it is that you actually want to do. MIS, CS, IT, Web Design, Software Engineering - college programs, that although may describe the overarching discipline, don't really fully represent what niche in the technical industry they serve to address... For example, I have a BSCS, though by far the majority of my project involvement has been done with back end web application development using established frameworks and site design on top of mature platforms - little "Computer Science" being done here (in the 'study of the theory of...' sense).
