Mouse
The mouse, the one attached to
your being
In 1963 Douglas Engelbart's group at Stanford Research
Institute in California studied interactive devices for displays. Of
the different devices tested - pointers, joysticks, trackballs - a brown,
wooden box with two rolling wheels and a red push button on top achieved
the best results. It would become the ubiquitous computer mouse.
Engelbart's inspiration came from being a radar technician
during World War II. There he saw various types of computer input devices,
some even resembling the mouse. In 1959 he was granted the opportunity
to develope a new user interface for the computer. By 1968 Engelbart
and other computer scientists and electrical engineers presented their
invention at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Fransisco. Amazingly,
the mouse didn't catch on until the 1980s.
The first computer to come equipped with a mouse was
the Xerox Star, introduced in the early 1970s. However, the mouse became
popular only when it was included with the Apple Lisa in 1983.
Englehart also came up with a larger, foot-operated control
called a rat, but it never caught on.
By the way, the plural for computer mouse is "mouse"
