This document discusses graphical user interfaces (GUIs). It defines a GUI as a user interface that allows interaction through graphical icons, audio indicators, and pictures. The key features of a GUI include windows, icons, menus, and pointers. GUIs are easy to learn and use, allow quick switching between tasks, and replace multiple instructions with single icons. However, GUIs may consume more screen space and system resources and be slower than other interfaces.
