Ha Mouse celebrating 40th birthday today.Do you know how the mouse looks 40 years back.Its a simple wooden block with 2 wheels,one being used to move the cursor horizontally and other used to vertical movements.Here is the picture for you:
Mouse Initially, arrived as a simple wooden block with wheels and a protruding chord, the very first mouse was unveiled on December 09 of 1968, when Dr. Douglas Engelbart showcased the new technology during a forward-looking demonstration of interactive computing at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco, California.
Here is a video of the demo given in 1968 at California:
During that momentous demo, Dr. Engelbart of Stanford Research International’s Augmentation Research Center used a rudimentary wooden concept design to show attendees how the technology could be used to manually direct an on-screen cursor.
The term “mouse” was subsequently coined by Dr. Engelbart and his team after they decided the chord emanating from the device’s rear looked much like a tail.
