Graphical User Interface

GUI stands for Graphical User Interface. It provides a graphical interface for the user to interact with the computer. It was developed in the late 1970s by the Xerox Palo Alto research laboratory and deployed commercially in Apple's Macintosh. Graphical user interfaces would become the standard of user centered design in software application programming, providing users the capability to intuitively operate computers and other electronic devices through the direct manipulation of graphical icons such as buttons, scroll bar, windows, tabs, menus, cursors and mouse.

Example of GUI are Microsoft Windows, macOS, Ubuntu Unity and GNOME Shell for desktop environments and Android, Apple's iOS, BlackBerry OS, Windows 10 Mobile, Palm OS-WebOS and Firefox OS for smartphones.

Feature and advantage of GUI

Non technical convenience
Drag and drop function
It looks better than a text interface
Use easy to understand words for user type
Easy to use
People with disabilities
Have a Reference document.

Disadvantage of GUI

High costs, complexity in development
Slower than command line programs
Special attention is required
Use a flat screen

Define LAN and WAN

. Local Area Network (LAN) A LAN is a network that is used for communicating among computer devices, usually within an office building or home. LAN’s enable the sharing of resources such as files or hardware devices that may be needed by multiple users • • Is limited in size, typically spanning a few hundred meters, and no more than a mile. Is fast, with speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps. Requires little wiring, typically a single cable connecting to each device. Has lower cost compared to MAN’s or WAN’s. LAN’s can be either wired or wireless. Twisted pair, coax or fiber optic cable can be used in wired LAN’s. Advantages of LAN : The data is transferred at an extremely faster rate in local Area Network. Local area network (LAN) provides higher security. Disadvantages of LAN : Initial cost of installing local area network is quite high. Unauthorized user can access critical data of an organization in case LAN ad...

Introduction of Computer

. A computer is an electronic device. It take input and store the data in memory and performing the function to produce accurate result in output device. It is used to type document, send email, play game, browse the web and entertainment. Characteristics of computer 1 . High speed Computer is very fast device. It is capable of performing calculation of very large amount of data. The computer has unit of speed in microsecond, nanosecond and even in picosecond. The computer is capable of performing millions of tasks per second. 2. Accuracy The computer produces highly accurate and reliable result. It does not make any kind of mistake in calculating. The calculation are 100% error free. The computers perform accurate 'n' number of times. 3. Storage capability A computer has much more storage capability. It can store large amount of data. It can store any type of data such as image, video, text document, audio and many more. 4. Diligence Diligence ...
