History Of The GUI
Quote:
If you have no idea what a GUI is, where it comes from and why it is important(which would be scary if you are using a PC) then head on over to Ars Technica so they can PYAITK. Good reading for sure.

Douglas Englebart completed his degree in electrical engineering in 1948 and settled down in a nice job at the NACA Institute (the forerunner of NASA). However, one day while driving to work he had an epiphany: he realized that his real calling as an engineer was not to work on small projects that might only benefit a few people.
