Please respond to the following:

GUIs play an important role in how an end user interacts with an operating system. Describe an instance where you did not have an intuitive experience with a GUI. Recommend the key areas that could have been improved. If you have only had intuitive experiences with GUIs, explain what made the experience so great.

 

Sample Solution

A GUI (graphical user interface) is a system of interactive visual components for computer software. A GUI displays objects that convey information, and represent actions that can be taken by the user. The objects change color, size, or visibility when the user interacts with them. The GUI was first developed at Xerox PARC by Alan Kay, Douglas Engelbart, and a group of other researchers in 1981. Later, Apple introduced the Lisa computer with a GUI on January 19, 1983.A GUI includes GUI objects like icons, cursors, and buttons. These graphic elements may be enhanced with sound and visual effects such as transparency and drop shadows. These objects allow the user to use the computer without knowing the command.
