A Graphical User Interface (GUI) is a type of user interface where users of a computer or device can visually see the results of their computing. For example, the screen on your computer offers a graphical user interface so that you can see what you are doing (as opposed to something like a printer, which is a machine with no GUI).
History
One of the first GUI's was PARC, which had windows, toolbars, and other common features of what we would consider a GUI.
Modern GUI's
The most popular Graphical User Interface systems today include OS X, Windows, and IBM OS.
Linux
Linux is an operating system that offers a GUI but can be programmed to run without one.
