| GUI (Graphical User Interface)A GUI is the usual way to access a computer. The most common GUIs are the Windows GUI, and the MacOS GUI. GUIs usually employ a number of predefined design elements (such as pull-down menus and buttons) which are used to implement specific functions. The most common Browsers ( Navigator and IE) also implement GUIs, in this case for accessing the WWW. Examples for non-GUI Browsers are text-based browsers such as Lynx, or entirely non-visual browsers (for example using speech synthesis techniques).
