A GUI makes use of a WIMP environment: windows, icons, menus and pointer.
The background of the screen is called the desktop, which contains labeled pictures
called icons. These icons represent files or folders. Double-clicking a folder opens a
window which contains programs, documents, or more nested folders. 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. When you run a program, your PC opens a window that lets
you work with different tools. All programs have a high level of consistency, with
similar toolbars, menu bars, 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.

In 1984, Apple produces the Macintosh, the first computer with 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.

The term user interface refers to the standard procedures that the user follows in
order to interact with a computer. 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 deed for a
user-friendly interface.
