Chapter 61 Graphical Operation System

Henry nodded in deep agreement upon hearing this.

While others may think that realizing AI is a distant dream, he is very clear about how terrifying the development of artificial intelligence will be in the future!

Attracting such talent is undoubtedly a great thing for Meimeng Software.

"As for the second one, it is Victor Waterman, who has a master's degree in computer science from Stanford University and has outstanding talent in data structures and algorithms."

He has won numerous awards in programming competitions, and his abilities even surpass those of most engineers in our company.

Since he joined the team, our software performance and stability have seen significant improvements.

"Fantastic, Alexander."

Both of them are extremely valuable talents.

Next, we must dedicate ourselves to nurturing them, giving them more important responsibilities and challenges, and helping them grow rapidly in their careers.

"Of course, Boss, I will keep a close eye on their progress."

Alexander nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Dreamsoft is in a crucial stage of rapid development, and the need for top technical talent like Emily and Victor is particularly urgent.

Especially in today's context, computer scientists and software developers are regarded as pioneers in the technology world.

Emily and Victor not only have top-tier academic backgrounds, but also have made achievements in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, data structures, and algorithms, making them rare gems in the industry.

Therefore, Dreamsoft must cherish and retain these top talents even more to build a competitive advantage that is difficult to replicate for the company and further consolidate its leading position in the software field.

Henry took a sip of his coffee, turned his gaze to the Apple II computer in front of him, and said, "Alexander, what do you think of the Apple DOS operating system running on this Apple II?"

"The Apple DOS operating system on the Apple II was undoubtedly advanced."

Alexander thought for a moment and replied, "It provides users with an intuitive interface, which is a great improvement, especially for non-professional computer users."

"Yes! By today's standards, Apple DOS was indeed outstanding."

Henry nodded in agreement at first, then posed the crucial question: "But what if you were to look to the future?"

"future?"

"good!

In my opinion, the most important thing in the technology industry is to accurately grasp future developments.

"We must always keep our eyes on the future, rather than dwelling on the small achievements of the present."

If you can transcend the barriers of time, you'll discover that this seemingly perfect operating system actually has some very obvious limitations.

"for example……"

"For example, although its command-line interface is powerful, it may not be user-friendly for those who are not familiar with command languages."

Moreover, as software becomes increasingly complex, DOS's capabilities in memory management and multitasking will become a bottleneck.

If we want to develop more efficient and user-friendly software, then exploring new operating system architectures and technologies will be crucial.

"Boss, what you're thinking...?"

Alexander asked with a slight hesitation.

"Great! I'm ready to start developing a new operating system."

Henry could tell that Alexander had already guessed, so he nodded in confirmation, "In my vision, the operating system we develop next will be more modern, supporting a graphical user interface (GUI) and multitasking."

It will completely change the way people use computers.

Imagine how amazing an operating system would be if users no longer needed to remember complicated command-line instructions and could complete tasks with simple operations!

This is the trend of the future, and the starting point for Dream Company's true take-off.

Graphical User Interface?

I must say, this idea sounds truly exciting!

After hearing Henry's detailed plan, Alexander's eyes began to gleam with excitement.

He could almost sense an unprecedented sense of change in Henry's vision.

The concept of a graphical work system, proposed in 1979, was undoubtedly very advanced.

Most computer users are still dealing with text-based command-line interfaces, and although the Xerox Alto has demonstrated the potential of a GUI, the technology has not yet become widespread.

This is undoubtedly an obstacle for non-professional users.

Therefore, when Henry proposed developing a completely new operating system that included a graphical user interface (GUI), it was like opening up a whole new world.

The user interface (UI) is the interface through which humans interact with computers. It makes human-computer interaction intuitive through direct user input and real-time feedback from the computer.

In screen-based interactive media, the user interface refers to the graphical user interface (GUI).

A graphical user interface (GUI) provides a visual interface that allows users to communicate with the program's backend; therefore, GUIs are also known as front-end interfaces.

Graphical user interface design is the use of visual metaphors to achieve navigation, interaction, and information transmission between content through graphic design.

Before the advent of computers, early human-computer interaction methods mainly relied on physical input via punch cards and buttons.

When command-line interfaces (CLI) began to appear, the content of the computer screen began to be controlled by the keyboard, and the user interface was able to respond to a series of operational requirements in real time.

Furthermore, the user interface presented by the display can show more content in a shorter time, while eliminating the need for printed materials and reducing economic costs.

However, the code in the command-line interface is complex, and users need to learn the commands required to execute computer functions in order to interact with the computer by typing commands.

This is a high learning curve for ordinary people and is not user-friendly, which indirectly promoted the development of graphical user interfaces.

In 1973, the first graphical user interface operating system in history, Alto, was born. It was developed by researchers at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. This marked the beginning of the history of computer graphics and had a profound impact on the development of user interfaces.

This was also the first graphical operating system to combine all computer elements, and most modern graphical user interfaces originated from it.

"You mean, users can operate the computer through icons and menus instead of typing commands?"

Alexander pressed for more details, trying to understand the concept more clearly.

Henry smiled and nodded in confirmation: "That's right, users can interact by clicking icons, dragging and dropping files, using drop-down menus, and so on."

This interface will greatly lower the barrier to computer use, allowing anyone to easily get started.

"mouse?"
