Task 13- GUI and TUI Interface
What is GUI (graphical user interface) ?

• A GUI 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.
What is TUI (Terminal User Interface) ?

• TUI is also known as Text-based User Interface. This is the most uncommon term
of the three. TUI is basically part GUI and part CLI. 

• TUI stands for text-based user interface or terminal user interface. Text-based
because primarily, you have a bunch of text on the screen and terminal user
interface because they are used only in the terminal.

• TUI applications are not well-known to many users, but there are a bunch of
them. Terminal based web browsers are good example of TUI programs.
Difference between LAN & VLAN
• LAN stands for Local Area Network is a group of network devices which allow the
communication between connected devices. On the other hand VLAN stands
for Virtual Local Area Network which is used to enhance the performance of LANs
(Local Area Networks).

• The main difference between LAN (Local Area Network) and VLAN (Virtual Local
Area Network) is that LAN work on single broadcast domain on the other hand VLAN
works on multiple broadcast domain and In local are network, the Packet is
advertised to each device while In virtual local area network, packet is send to
specific broadcast domain.
Difference between LAN & VLAN
LAN VLAN
LAN stands for Local Area VLAN stands for Virtual
Network. Local Area Network.

The cost of Local Area The cost of Virtual Local

Network is high. Area Network is less.

The latency of Local Area The latency of Virtual Local

Network is high. Area Network is low.

The devices which are used The devices which are used
in LAN are: Hubs, Routers in VLAN are: Bridges and
and switch. switch.

In local area network, the In virtual local area
