(i) Explain Graphical User Interface (GUI): refers to the interaction between end users
and the computer based upon a graphical display. These are tools which are designed to enhance
persona] computing work. They are mostly fitted on work stations or personal computers with
graphical adaptors able to support high resolution graphics.

(ii) Reasons why GUI is easier to use than command line interface
- Graphical symbols are more easily recognized and memorized than text.
- Direct manipulation, for example by pointing and clicking on graphical objects with a
mouse, reduces learning time for users and gives them a greater feeling of control over
the HCI.
- Make computer operations more intuitive and thus easier to use and learn.
- Provide users with immediate, visual feedback about the effect of each action.
