GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
 A graphical User Interface (GUI), is
often pronounced as ‘goo-ey’.
 It is a type of user interface that
controls a display for the user and allows
users to interact with programs.
 A GUI offers graphical icons, and visual
indicators.
 It was developed because interacting
with computers in text mode (C.L.I.)
was a very time consuming &
cumbersome activity.

 GUI- much easier to learn & use than
CLI (Command-Line Interface).
 In CLI the commands are textual,& in
GUI commands are graphical.

etc) device is used.
