Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) revolutionized user interaction by transforming complex text commands into visual icons and prompts, making technology accessible to everyone.
Before GUIs, users relied on alphanumeric command line interfaces which were not user-friendly. GUIs introduced visual representation, allowing users to interact intuitively.
Xerox PARC's development of the first GUI in 1981 marked a critical shift in computing, paving the way for innovations that shaped how we use technology today.
Despite their advantages, GUIs come with drawbacks such as potential for user over-reliance on visual cues and less efficiency for advanced functions through memorized commands.
