Here is the wiki link again. You may be intrested in the early history of apple computers as well.

History of the graphical user interface.

The graphical user interface, or "GUI" (IPA: [ˈɡuːi]), is a computer interface that uses graphic icons and controls in addition to text. The user of the computer utilizes a pointing device, like a mouse, to manipulate these icons and controls. This is considerably different from the command line interface in which the user types a series of text commands to the computer.

Answer 3

Douglas Englebart completed his degree in electrical engineering in 1948 and settled down in a nice job at the NACA Institute (the forerunner of NASA). However, one day while driving to work he had an epiphany: he realized that his real calling as an engineer was not to work on small projects that might only benefit a few people. Instead, he wanted to work on something that would benefit all of humanity. He recalled Bush's essay and started thinking about ways in which a machine could be built that would augment human intellect. During the war he had worked as a radar operator, so he was able to envision a display system built around cathode ray tubes where the user could build models of information graphically and jump around dynamically to whatever interested them.

Answer 4

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I'd try to find some history on Xerox, because I think they were the first to create a good interface, and I think Apple and Microsoft used their work as a starting point.

Answer 5

Look for information on the Xerox PARC. That's where most of the modern computer interface was developed and eventually appropriated by Mssrs. Gates and Jobs.
