Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Without applications, an information system becomes a mere collection of computers, communication devices, and databases. The task of an application is to permit users of an information system to maintain and make sense of a set of entity objects: paragraphs and documents in a word processor, pictures in an image editor, medical history, treatments and financial transactions in a hospital information system, stocks and bonds in a portfolio management system, and so on.
