A '''user interface''' is the way in which some system interacts with a [[user]]. Exactly how will depend on i) the [[hardware]] which is available to pass information to the user ([[printing terminal]], [[video terminal]], [[bit-mapped display]]), ii) the function of the [[software]] in question ([[application]], [[text editor]], [[command processor]], etc), and iii) the intended target user type ([[programmer]], [[end-user]], etc).

Each new generation of hardware produced a new generation of user interfaces; e.g. editors for printing terminal changed completely when video terminals became avilable, spawning [[screen editor]]s; these in term were replaced with [[WYSIWYG]] editors when bit-mapped displays became widely available. Similarly, new hardware often enabled a new generation of applications (e.g. [[spread-sheet]]s, [[image editor]]s, etc).
