GUI is a frequently used acronym, meaning Graphical User Interface. In other words, GUI is almost everything you see on a computer screen, it's popup windows. Everyone uses GUIs in their daily life, but know that we actually think of them as GUIs, especially young people who didn't grow up with Dos, which was an old operating system (OS), but even if you didn't grow up with Dos you should still have noticed the change in how some programs look on different platforms or how they have evolved over time. The way GUIs are made and look has changed over time along with technology and knowledge. The first GUI was developed for research and universities not for commercial use; it was made in 1973. It looked very bland and boring and had plain buttons, labels and text areas. It was developed at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC); they called their first GUI Xerox Alto. Their next computer was called the Xerox 8010 Star, released in 1981. “This was the first system to be called a fully integrated desktop computer that included applications and a GUI” (Fekete, 2009). The name of this computer has changed twice, first to ViewPoint and then to GlobalView. After this new computer they started working on the idea of ​​having a desktop and putting icons or being able to save on the desktop or being able to have a GUI appear as a folder for storage or applications. Apple's first computer was released in 1983, which was called Lisa Office System1. Apple's intention was to be able to edit and write documents. This however couldn't beat the convenience of Apple's new Verizon Macintosh. Apple also tried to create newer versions of Lisa (Lisa OS, Lisa OS 2, in 1983 and Lisa OS 3.1 in 1984), but all in vain....... middle of paper....... .GUIs have greatly affected our lives with the rise of technology and the need for new things like video games and smart cards. GUIs are simply a product like anything else you can buy, so when the demand for new things arises, that also leads to new product innovations and improvements. Just as I mentioned with video games, over time GUI hardware and software have allowed video games to become more realistic. A perfect example is how the desktop GUI has evolved from the simplest type, intended for research and laboratory use, to having personal computers for everyday use. Over time, users have had to know less and less about the software and hardware side of the machines to make them more accessible to the general public. This simplification of the user interface was aimed at responding to consumer needs.
