GUIs (Graphical User Interface/s)



A GUI (Graphical User Interface) is a computer device which allows users to interact with their computers, but allows them to do more than just typing. This allows interaction between a computer and a hand held device, mp3 players, and other media devices. The first known computer that included a GUI was the Macintosh 128k. A GUI also creates a more interesting computer experience with engineered drawings that serve as icons, visuals, menus, and pointing devices. The most common GUIs today are Windows, Macintosh, and X Windows System (System Software for Network Computers) interfaces.
