Study Notes
User Interface
- The user interface is the way in which a user interacts with a computer system.
- User interfaces encompass both software and hardware components.
Types of Software Interfaces
- Command-driven interfaces: Users input commands in a specific language.
- Menu-driven interfaces: Users select commands from menus.
- Graphical user interface (GUI): Uses images and icons to represent choices, allowing for intuitive interaction.
GUI Examples
- Android OS: The user interface has evolved significantly, showcasing design changes in Android 9, 10, and 11.
- IOS: The IOS operating system is known for its distinctive user interface, as seen in version 9.
Hardware User Interfaces
