The colors? The rubber sole? More than likely, you didn\u2019t even notice the clear plastic tip at the end of the shoelace.<br \/>\n<strong>Narrator:<\/strong> \u201cThis piece may look insignificant, however, it is a vital tool that prevents the unraveling of shoe strings, and makes them easier to lace. This seemingly irrelevant piece is called an aglet. Let\u2019s try another.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Narrator:<\/strong> \u201cWhat\u2019s the first thing you notice about this object? The monitor? The keyboard? Chances are, you weren\u2019t immediately drawn to the rounded plastic rectangle that allows you to navigate the images on your monitor with ease. Yup, you guessed it.<br \/>\n<strong>Narrator:<\/strong> \u201cThis digital rodent is none other than the computer mouse. Like the aglet, despite its mundane appearance, there is so much more to the story of the mouse than you might expect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Computer Mouse: A Brand New Concept<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Narrator:<\/strong> \u201cThis story involves two guys at Stanford University:Doug Engelbart and Bill English. In 1961, Doug Engelbart was doodling in his notebook at a conference about computer graphics when he suddenly had an epiphany. He immediately began sketching his idea for a new way to interact with a computer\u2019s graphic interface. This device would feature a pair of small wheels: one that would turn horizontally and another that would turn vertically. In this way the moving wheels would plot the x and y coordinates for a cursor or \u201cbug\u201d on the computer screen. After drawing up the plans, Engelbart brought his ideas to his good friend Bill English, who was the mastermind behind the mechanical design for his \u201cx,y position indicator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Narrator:<\/strong> \u201cAfter both Engelbart and English looked over the plan, they both saw great potential, and wrote up a proposal for the US Air force in 1962. It wasn\u2019t until 1963, however, that the team received funds for their \u201cAugmentation Research Center\u201d from both the Air Force and NASA. Engelbart, English, and the rest of the research team went to work not only on producing the handheld device that would become the computer mouse, but an entire system. Augment was a new kind of computer, featuring a text-based operating system and the ability to interact with the Graphic User Interface, or computer screen, using a specialized keyboard and a 3 button mouse. This \u201cAugment system was featured in his 1968 demo which eventually became known as \u201cthe mother of all demos\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>December 9, 1968: The Demo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Narrator:<\/strong> \u201cEven though the Augment system as a whole wasn\u2019t wildly successful, tech giants such as Xerox and Apple took notice of the \u201cx,y position indicator\u201d. This was mainly because the entire system was focused on text-based software, whereas icon-based software was coming into vogue. In 1971, Bill English left Stanford and joined Xerox in further developing the mouse. English and Jack Hawley were able to replace the two-wheel tracking device on the bottom of the mouse with a load-bearing steel ball, which helped to make point and click navigation on icon-based systems easier. However, this change to the original design was far from perfect; there were several problems with the new \u201ctracking ball.\u201d These problems included a steep cost of $400 to produce a single mouse, the fact that it had to be produced by hand because of the need for extreme precision with the mouse\u2019s internal rollers and springs, as well as the possibility for dirt to get trapped under it. All of these factors made Xerox\u2019s design unrealistic for mass consumption by average consumers. While the Xerox team was facing roadblocks, Apple CEO and Founder Steve Jobs saw the mouse as housing great potential for marketability. He hired the 2 year old design team Hovey-Kelley to create a computer mouse that is both more affordable and easier to mass produce. Changes to the Xerox design included a floating lead ball covered in rubber, a reduction of three buttons to one, and the creation of a plastic injection-molded rib cage that would not only hold all of the internal components in the exact place, it could also be mass produced for pennies per unit once the mold was made. This mouse was designed to accompany the 1984 Macintosh and became wildly popular. Instead of costing upwards of $400 to produce a single mouse, the newest Apple design cost only $20. The Apple team had managed to achieve their original vision of an affordable, accessible mouse for the average public, and from here the mouse became a standard part of the American computer desk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Future of the Mouse: 1984 and Beyond<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Narrator:<\/strong> \u201cSince 1984, computers have become a key part of our everyday lives. As their designs have improved, so have the mice. Design modifications have most recently been aimed at making the mouse more ergonomically sound so that long term use won\u2019t cause a repetitive stress injury, or worse, carpal tunnel syndrome. Changes include a \u201cvertical mouse\u201d featuring a scroll wheel and buttons on the right so the wrist doesn\u2019t have to twist, and a mouse with the tracking ball on the right side of the mouse as opposed to the bottom, preventing the need to push down on the mouse in order to move the pointer on the screen. Despite these unique characteristics, all mice in production since 1984 possess the same \u201caffordable\u201d and \u201cmass produced\u201d qualities of the Apple mouse. Even though Apple refused to adopt any of these ergonomic trends, the popularity of their products remains unprecedented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Narrator:<\/strong> \u201cIn the past, some of the only competitors for the computer mouse were the joystick and lightpen. However, both of these alternatives couldn\u2019t even come close to the mouse in terms of efficiency and accuracy. That was in the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s. Today, both the touchscreen and trackpad prove to be worthy opponents, capable of dethroning this virtual vermin. For now, these technologies can be seen being used simultaneously, based on consumer preference. But the question remains: will the mouse become obsolete in the near future? Could the trackpad or the touchscreen become the preferred technology? It all remains a mystery to be decided by the consumers. In the present moment, the mouse, touchscreen, and trackpad live in civil disharmony, providing consumers with a wide range of choices to interact with the content on their computer screens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Narrator:<\/strong> \u201cThis brings us to the present, left only to wonder what is in store for the mechanical rodent that its designers affectionately called \u201cthe computer mouse.\u201d There is no way of knowing if the mouse is soon to be a retired piece of computer nostalgia. The widespread influence of the mouse on personal computing and user-friendly computer interfaces remains relevant to this day. And to think, it all began with a young researcher at Stanford, like a disobedient student in class, distracted by the innovation of his own mind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Media Cited:<\/strong><br \/>\n-\u201c1984 Macintosh Total System.\u201d Digital Image.
