Wikipedia has several definitions for Widget so I thought I’d simplify with a screenshot.

 

Google images only had a few pictures and not all definitions come with images. I tried my best!

I think this is a GUI

TV Series? I don't know, not that old

Which definition is this? WTF!

    They’re like the forerunner to the Windows desktop gadgets. Little application that don”t seem to really serve a useful purpose but to slow down your computer…LOL. In Vista That big clock that people have on their desktop would be a good example. A lot of folks do like them and they do look cool on your desktop but I always make sure they are shut down but maybe that’s because I am old bugger.
