The graphical interface since the early Macintosh, Windows days has changed tremendously. In terms of speed and what is able to be accessed as well as how smooth and how it is accessed. I think the biggest upgrade is mobility, having the computer catch up to the human brain is what makes it the ideal tool and technology. Touchscreens, voice commands, and gesture controls have been added. Apps and websites follow “flat” or “minimalist” design trends, making them look clean and modern. I really enjoy that we have strayed from clunky and too much text to simpler and more satisfying user interfaces. I believe Apple continues to do a good job in honing simplicity and satisfaction in the experience.
It is interesting to see what stayed the same however. We still use windows, icons, menus, and buttons, the gestures maybe are the same but the look of them are different and smoother.. The basic idea of clicking on things to open them, dragging files, and having a desktop with folders especially File Explorer remains similar to the originals.
I think technology now can be further simplified and more satisfying to use. AI could help personalize interfaces more because lately everyone wants an assistant. I think we should work towards making PCs our second brain, have things organized easier and more intuitively. Accessibility also needs to improve because interfaces should work better for people with disabilities and issues typing etc. And as screens get smaller and phones are used more and more, there needs to be more solutions and benefits to using PCs and a way to push them in a different direction.
