THE MOUSE
The mouse is a small device
that slides in all directions on a desk which makes it
possible to interact naturally with the computer. Its use was popularized by Apple with the
Lisa and the Macintosh models in 1983
. However, it was the little-known American
inventor Douglas Englebart who conceived and designed the mouse at the Stanford
research institute in the mid-1960s. His brilliant idea was to have the computer operator
place his or her hand on a small box or mouse. A sphere on the underside of the mouse is
used to measure
movements which are then transmitted to the computer via a lead - the tail
of the mouse. These movements are translated to the cursor on the screen:
if the mouse is
pushed to the right the cursor goes to the right; if the mouse is pushed away from the user
the cursor moves up, and so on. This revolutionary input device, originally found only on
Apple computers, was adopted by IBM
in 1987.
