A user interface is the part of a program or other technology that a user interacts with. An example of such an interface would be the web browser being used to view this piece of information.

The interface is comprised of the main window (where the web page appears), the buttons at the top, bottom, or sides of the program, the location where the webpage name is entered, as well as any menus or drop-down boxes that are a part of the program.

This user interface is how commands from the user are processed and translated into commands that the computer can then use to carry them out. Other examples of user interfaces are hardware devices, such as keyboards, mice and audio input devices like microphones. Because the user interacts with them in some way, they are all considered to be user interfaces.
