A Graphical User Interface (or GUI, often pronounced "gooey")is a method of interacting with a computer through direct manipulation of graphical images and widgets in addition to text.
History
Precursors to GUIs
The precursor to GUIs was invented by researchers at the Stanford Research Institute (led by Doug Engelbart). They developed use of text-based hyperlinks manipulated with a mouse for the On-Line System. The concept of hyperlinks was further refined and extended to graphics by researchers at Xerox PARC, who went beyond text-based hyperlinks and used GUIs as the primary interface for the Xerox Alto computer. Most modern general-purpose GUIs are derived from this system. For this reason some people call this class of interface a PARC User Interface (PUI) (note that PUI is also an acronym for perceptual user interface).PARC User Interface (PUI)
The PUI consists of graphical widgets (often provided by widget toolkit libraries) such as windows, menus, radio buttons, check boxes and icons. PUIs employ a pointing device in addition to a keyboard. These aspects of PUIs can be emphasized by using the alternative acronym WIMP, which stands for Windows, Icons, Menus and Pointing device.

Spent way too much time this week in search of the perfect GUI directory sync program for Mac. There are a lot of bad utilities out there.
