GUIs

GUI is a short form for Graphical User Interface ( GUI ). It is spoken as 'gooey'. 'Gooey' ( GUI ) is a Computer Program. Actually GUI is a piece of code written in a Programming Language.

GUI makes life easy for Computer users. It is a milestone in our list of efforts directed to deliver technology to the doorstep. GUI does not require us to gain expertise. The GUI icons are easy to make out. One can understand the message given by GUIs visually. So, GUIs are great fun to play with.

Specially designed software is for a particular purpose. Standard software practices are adopted to make a useful software unit. Such software is used again and again. Moreover, useful things are used by many.

A GUI links a Computer user to a Computer Program. This Computer Program is useful for the user. So, a GUI Program enables a user to make good use of a Computer Program that's the GUI target.

The requirements of the user are collected. This act of collection is performed by the GUI. These requirements are narrated to the linked Computer Program. The linked one operates to serve the requirements of the Computer user.

At one time a GUI interacts with a user who has to get a job done. When the user has presented the requirements specification ( in some way ) to the GUI, further action follows. The GUI in its turn talks to a certain Computer Program. This Computer Program efficiently serves the user and in this way his requirements are taken care of.

So, we can say a GUI is a good mediator between a user and a special Computer Program.

Interface Message Processor ( IMP )

Interface Message Processor ( IMP ) is a special purpose Computer. The Processor plays a vital role in Host-to-Host communication. IMP is placed between Host Computers.  IMP helps Hosts to exchange information. IMPs ( Interface Message Processors ) form a group. The group dedicates itself towards reliable transmission of Packets. _________________________ Note: An Interface Message Processor can be supposed to have a face. Firstly this supposed face of IMP is in the direction of the first Host, which sends the  message. Secondly, this face is turned towards the other Host.  Now, the IMP,  with its face turned around, communicates with this other Host.  Transformed message from IMP is communicated to this Host. __________________________ Message ( a piece of information ) sent from the Host ( source of information  ) is transformed into Packets. Transformation of the message into Packets is performed by an IMP. These Packets are forwarded to the receiver H...
