A user interface is the part of a computer system or software that people interact with. It includes everything a user may need to operate a device, like buttons, menus, and icons on the screen. In simple terms, the user interface is how we give instructions to a computer and how it shows information back to us. When we use a smartphone app, video game, or website, the user interface is what makes it possible for us to understand and use the technology easily. Good user interfaces are designed to be intuitive, making them easy and enjoyable for people of all ages to use.
