Wishing you a happy clicking 40TH Birthday
Love, Clowgon :P Do you get the joke? =]
The humble computer mouse celebrates its 40th anniversary today.
On 9 December 1968 hi-tech visionary Douglas Engelbart first used one to demonstrate novel ways of working with computers.
The first mouse that Dr Engelbart used in the demo at the Fall Joint Computer Conference (FJCC) was made of wood and had one button.
Much of the technology shown off in the demo inspired the creation of the hardware and software now widely used.
They say one day the Mouse shall come extinct but i very much doubt it. How will people play Habbo or Runsecape if it's ever still around! :P
I suppose you can you use touchscreen but people will get tired and bored with it.
