Morgan Scarborough explores the design history of the desktop GUI, from Xerox PARC and the Dynabook to the Apple Macintosh.

Ever wonder why computers look the way that they do? Well I spent a lot of time finding that out! EDIT: hey i missed a music credit! sorry about that. the last song that plays over the end credits is Linden $$$ Landlord by Abelard, same artist and same album as the title theme. -------- Artless is a show all about the design history that doesn't get talked about nearly enough. Look forward to more episodes to come! Artless is also a 100% human made production and it always will be. --------- have any questions? need some help with a youtube video of your own? email me at: contact@morganscarborough.com Intro Prehistory Dynabook Xerox PARC What exactly is the desktop GUI? Apple The Timeline The Lisa and the Mac Conclusion Outro
