When Xerox introduced the first graphical interface for its Alto computer, there must have been many skeptics who seemed ridiculous about this decision. Indeed, before this, computers frightened unprepared users with their “bird” command line language, there wasn’t even a word about any drug n drop or point and click, and all communication with the machine was carried out by entering commands from the keyboard.
But everything changed dramatically when the key players of the IT market of that time (it was in the 70s of the last century) became convinced that the graphical user interface is not only a convenience for technicians, but also a great way to attract to computer untrained user technologies. It became much easier to train them on this type of PC. So, the graphical interface has become the very invention, thanks to which the personal computer market began to take shape in the world. It is terrible to think what would happen if no one had thought of this now obvious solution for everyone.
