Page is getting reworked. Content is inaccurate
A lot of pages are still missing, take this with a grain of salt.
In computing an interface is a connector of two, in general, independent entities, these entities can be a computer and a network switch, your browser and a webserver or a GUI and an application.
We separate three general interfaces; hardware, software and user interfaces.
User interfaces are a special kind as they allow a human to interact with an application. These interfaces can be text based like a console, graphical as a GUI or hardware based.
We are only going to look at hardware and software interfaces as these need the most explanation.
Hardware
These are physical connectors on a device, generally you plug a type of connector into a receptacle.
Software
These are interfaces in application, operating systems and other non physical interfaces.
