Douglas Engelbart's invention of the mouse paved the way for the development of Graphical User Interfaces, transforming personal computing from complex text commands to user-friendly interactions.
Before GUIs, using computers was a complex endeavor due to DOS-based systems. Engelbart's work made computing accessible, allowing users to drag and drop files easily.
Xerox PARC's development of the Alto's GUI showcased the potential of visual interaction, setting a standard for future personal computer interfaces that prioritize user-friendliness.
The Alto represented a crucial shift in computer design, focusing on making technology more personal and accessible, which has since become a staple in modern computing.
