The Computer Mouse: Aglet of the Digital World (Transcription) Narrator: “When you look at this object, what is the first thing you see? The colors? The rubber sole? More than likely, you didn’t even notice the clear plastic tip at the end of the shoelace. Narrator: “This piece may look insignificant, however, it is a vital
As with all tech, developers are constantly pushing the envelope and searching for new and exciting ways to revamp our devices. Ever since the invention of the mouse in the late 1960’s by Douglas Engelbart, computer companies have sought out ways to find an even more efficient method of interacting with the Graphical User Interface on personal computers. This has led to the more recent development of the antecedent (in terms
The Trackpad has long been considered a competitor of the mouse. With its flat design and ‘click anywhere’ feel, it seems that the mouse should have been obsolete years ago. However, there is far more to consider when comparing both the mouse and the trackpad. For the purposes of this study, we will consider reviews from actual consumers of the Magic Trackpad, Apple’s answer to a mouse alternative, and will address
Since the mouse’s initial development in the early 1960’s, it has been constantly undergoing changes that have enabled its style to evolve with the times. The mouse has grown into a natural feature of the computer desk, right next to the keyboard and monitor. As we all know them today, computer mice are characteristically made of plastic, even though this was not the case initially. As the mouse’s design was amended

For our website, we will divide our top menu into 4 sections: Antecedents, History, People of the Mouse, and Future of the Mouse. Each of these sections will have 3 sub-pages focused on specific topics. These topics, including their sources and images, are listed and pictured below. Please note we will also have an about page that describes our purpose for the project and a bibliography page of all our
The computer mouse was an important part of interactive computer technology, and is today a common household item. The 1968 debut of the computer mouse was called the “Mother of all Demos,” as it introduced a world to personal and interactive computing. Since it’s conception, companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Logitech have spent lots of funding on refining the computer mouse. The longevity of the design of the mouse
By: Heather Taylor Here is my test post for the mouse. Attached I have a pic of the Magic Mouse and an article about Apple’s engineer responsible for the design of the first Apple Mouse. I look forward to studying the development of the mouse over time, and whether or not this piece of technology will become obsolete. If it will, then how soon?
