GUI's Lack Memory

GUI's have no memory. GUIs don't have the ability to retain the sequence of what you just did with them. When you click, and drop, and click, and drop, and type, and bring up, and close etc, there is no memory in the system of what you just did. How on earth can you figure out the long and convoluted series of actions you took with the GUI so six months down the road you can do it again? Then lets say you have to grind through a dozen of these complex sequences a week. How can you possibly remember all of them? Or even a few of them. GUI's are not easy. They are a pain in the brain. At least they are for me because I have a weak memory. Are computers really only for those people with great memories. come on!

GUI's could have traces so that you can repeat or at least re-read what you've done? You could go tho the trace page ad see what you have done and even copy it out and paste it into a user manual. We can do this.
