GUI

1. The term user interface refers to the standard procedures that the user follows in order to interact with a computer.

2. In the late 1970s and early 80s, the way users accessed computer systems was very complex. They had to memorize and type a lot of commands just to see the contents of a disk, to copy files or to respond to a single prompt. In fact, it was only experts who used computers, so there was no need for a user-friendly interface.

3. In 1984, Apple produced the Macintosh, the first computer to have a mouse and a graphical user interface (GUI). Macs were designed with one clear aim: to facilitate interaction with the computer. A few years later, Microsoft launched Windows, another operating system based on graphics and intuitive tools. Nowadays, computers are used by all kinds of people, and as a result there is a growing emphasis on accessibility and user-friendly systems.

4. A GUI makes use of a WIMP environment: windows, icons, menus and a pointer. The background of the screen is called the desktop, which contains labelled pictures called icons. These icons represent files or folders. Double-clicking a folder opens a window which contains programs, documents, or more nested folders.

5. When you are in a folder, you can launch a program or document by double-clicking the icon or you can drag it to another location. It is convenient to run a program, when your PC opens a window that lets you work with different tools. All the programs have a high level of consistency, with similar toolbars, menu bars, and buttons and dialog boxes. A modern OS also provides access to networks and allows multitasking, which means you can run several programs - and do various tasks - at the same time.
