In computing, the desktop metaphor is an interface metaphor which is a set of unifying concepts used by graphical user interfaces to help users interact more easily with the computer.<a href="Desktop metaphor - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_metaphor#cite_note-autogenerated1-1)"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a> The desktop metaphor treats the computer monitor as if it is the top of the user's desk, upon which objects such as documents and folders of documents can be placed. A document can be opened into a window, which represents a paper copy of the document placed on the desktop. Small applications called desk accessories are also available, such as a desk calculator or notepad, etc.Why are they called desktops if most computers are positioned under said desks now rather then on?
