Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

System software is the collection of programs that control the basic operations of computer hardware. The most prominent type of system software, the operating system (e.g., Windows 8, OS X, Ubuntu Linux), coordinates the interaction between hardware components (e.g., the CPU and the monitor), peripherals (e.g., printers), application software (e.g., office programs), and users. Operating systems are often written in assembly language, a very low-level computer programming language that allows the computer to operate quickly and efficiently.

The operating system is designed to insulate you from this low-level language and make computer operations unobtrusive. Further, the operating system provides a common layer for different underlying devices, so that applications only have to be developed for different operating systems, rather than for each different computer model. The operating system performs all of the day-to-day operations that we often take for granted when using a computer, such as updating the system clock, printing documents, or saving data to a disk. Just as our brain and nervous system control our body's breathing, heartbeat, and senses without our conscious realization, the system software transparently controls the computer's basic operations.
