EventIn the good ol' days, computers handled user interactions as input of batched data. The user fed a hunk of data in, the computer did something
to that data, then produced the results. With the advent of interactive devices like the GUI
interface, computers could display answers to computations onscreen. The
input for these interactions are events caused by the user, which
could be keystrokes, button clicks, or the position of the mouse pointer.
(see Event Handler).
