| List 4 types of user interface | GUI, Command Line Interface, Menu Interface, Natural Language Interface |
| Characteristics of a GUI - WIMP | Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointers |
| Give an advantage and disadvantage for each interface | GUI - Easy to use, but use the most memory/processing power Command Line - Quicker for expert user, use less resources, but commands need to be learnt, slower for non-expert user Natural Language - flexible and powerful, no training needed, but good grammar required, misleads users into thinking computers are intelligent |
| List 5 Qualities for ICT Professionals | Patience, Teamwork ability, Problem Solving Skills, Listening,Oral,Written communication skills |
