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 sources:<\/p>\n

About:<\/strong> On this page we will introduce ourselves, feature a photo of each of us, and describe our purpose for creating this site.<\/p>\n

Antecedents:\u00a0<\/strong>This section of the website will be focusing on the need for a user friendly computer interface and three main antecedents which are the keyboard, joystick, and light pen. It will also go over why the antecedents were not picked over the mouse.<\/p>\n

Page 1: Keyboard<\/strong>
\nThis page will go over the history of the keyboard and how it was used before the mouse, and why it was not picked. It was one of the more advanced antecedents<\/p>\n

\nThis page will discuss the history of the joystick, and why it was not picked. The joystick was one of the first antecedents, and one of the most important.The mouse and the joystick are both pointer devices, but the joystick had other jobs that fit it better than being the main computer interface tool.<\/p>\n

\nOn this page, I will focus on the changes in the computer mouse\u2019s design after Engelbart\u2019s initial design. I will discuss the influences of major computer companies like Xerox and Apple on the design and improvements of the mouse over time. Some of these improvements include a change in shape to a more ergonomic form, a cheaper design, and a simpler composition that makes mass production a lot easier.<\/p>\n

\nThis page will feature reviews of the trackpad when compared to the mouse. All of the reviews come from ordinary users and illustrate the importance of personal needs and preference.

–The touch screen revolution: Could the mouse become obsolete? (Page 3)<\/strong>
\nThis final page will focus on the possibility that the mouse could actually become an obsolete piece of technology and the devices that could replace it, especially touch screens. At first, I will discuss the selection of the mouse itself and then dive into the reasons why touch screens may be viewed as superior technology. However, this is a very open-ended discussion with numerous possible outcomes. At best, touchscreens and computer mice are coexisting technologies.<\/p>\n
