GUIs (Graphical User Interface) were created as an effort to make computers appealing to non-computer-savy, or "ignorant" masses. Windows users are inherently GUI users. This of course also implies that they do not know ASM or unix, or they would use something else. Knowing better, computer-savy people only use text terminals, which they often call consoles. This implies that they use telnet to browse HTTP web sites as opposed to a GUI-cripled browser. When they need to look at pictures of their significant other, they do so using the aalib library to view them as ASCII-art.
