True

Many outputs are now web-enabled with hyperlinks.

True

Modern structured design is a process-oriented technique for breaking up a large program into a hierarchy of modules resulting in computer programs that are easier to implement and maintain.

True

True

One key to user interface design is to test the system on actual users
