Answer 1

An information system is a "thing" either computer or human that gathers resources together and organizes them into something useable. Consider your computer. You download music and your computer knows, "ok, this is a song, I will put it here with the rest of the songs I know of...."

Information technology is the learning that uses what those songs are, but ways to display them better, by using better sound cards, better video monitors, video adaptors, etc. The Technology behind what you see on your screen is by the people who have made or engineered it that way. To find a better, more cost effective way to do it, or a different way alltogether are up to you.

The system is what we create to do a job, the job is still left to us.....

Answer 2

An information system has to do with a specific system or way of organizing information. The term Information Technology has to do with the general field having to do with Data and Technology. In other words Information System is more a specific term referring to one system while Information Technology refers do the entire field. For example if you wanted to know how to build an information system you would need to study Information Technology.
