Overview

We're going to discuss the critical role graphical user interfaces, or GUIs played in the adoption of computers. Before the mid-1980's the most common way people could interact with their devices was through command-line interfaces, which though efficient, aren't really designed for casual users. This all changed with the introduction of the Macintosh by Apple in 1984.
