Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) have transformed computer usage by making systems user-friendly, allowing users to interact through icons and menus instead of command-line text. The first GUI was introduced by Apple's Macintosh in 1984, followed by Microsoft's Windows, which became the most popular operating system. GUIs are now prevalent across various devices, including home computers, smartphones, and smart TVs, making technology accessible to everyone.
