The GUI and Personal Computer both played an important and pivotal role in the technology era, making life easier for many and changing the way we live and work in our daily lives. Although many would say that the Personal Computer was the turning point, we believe it is only because of the GUI that the PC is what it is today.
The Graphical User Interface has forever changed the computer industry and the average consumers life. We can now do things that 30 years ago, people would have never been able to do. The GUI has brought entertainment, work, and many other things right in our homes. The Graphical User Interface is truly a turning point in history.

Most people, in present times, find it difficult, if not impossible, to live without a computer. Computers are a source of entertainment, productivity, and a vast information portal. People can learn almost anything online these days, from cooking, to math. It is also possible, thanks to the internet, to online collaborate, and to have a virtual meeting. The computer is truly a one of a kind device, that is still changing today. 

"We're not even close to finishing the basic dream of what the PC can be." -Bill Gates
