THE DESKTOP 01.1

Why do nerds make things look easy? “The mysterious process by which difficult things become simple”. Learn to master the computer “desktop”: –Increase efficiency –Enjoy computing –Dazzle your colleagues –Become a Zen master! Mastery of the desktop

Desktop as a metaphor The desktop metaphor is an interface metaphor which is a set of unifying concepts used by graphical user interfaces to help users more easily interact with the computer. The desktop metaphor treats the monitor of a computer as if it is the user's physical desktop, upon which documents and folders of documents can be placed. A document can be opened into a window, which represents a paper copy of the document placed on the desktop. Applications (calculator, word processor) are available
