Douglas Engelbart's invention of the mouse and the concept of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) transformed personal computing from complex text commands to an interactive visual experience.
Before GUIs, personal computers operated on DOS-based systems, requiring users to memorize text commands, which complicated accessibility for everyday users.
The introduction of drag-and-drop functionality allowed users to interact more intuitively with their computers, significantly enhancing user experience and engagement.
The development of the Alto by Xerox PARC showcased the first practical implementation of GUIs, shaping the future of personal computing interfaces.
