Understanding User Interfaces

The video tutorial introduces user interfaces, focusing on three types: command line interfaces (CLI), graphical user interfaces (GUI), and menu-based interfaces. It explains the benefits and drawbacks of each type, highlighting CLI's efficiency for experienced users, GUI's simplicity and resource demands, and menu-based interfaces' ease of use in specific applications.

What is the primary function of a user interface?

• To manage network connections

• To store data

• To process information

• To interact with computer systems
