From desktop to dustbin: The evolution of the mouse
Technological innovations are changing the way we use computers. So,
asks Simon Usborne, does this mean the end for the mouse?
For almost 30 years, they have scurried across the globe with
relentless speed, spawning new generations as they darted through
holes in our desks to colonise the space beside our keyboards. The
mouse has shown an extraordinary ability to survive the breakneck
speed of technological evolution. Nobody has carried out a census of
these denizens of the desktop, but it’s certain that billions of mice
have double-clicked their way into homes and offices, helping everyone
from tech-savvy toddlers to silver surfers to control their PCs.
