On This Day in History
On this day 40 years ago a man named Douglas Englebart first unveiled the ‘mouse’, at a 90 minute presentation to around 1000 people at Brooks Hall Convention Centre in San Francisco.
I found an article by Bobbie Johnson, who is the Guardian’s technology correspondent, about it today. Englebart is quoted as saying “You have a pointing device called a mouse, I don’t know why we call it a mouse – sometimes I apologise for it. It started that way and we never did change it.”
It really is a very interesting read and I thoroughly recommend it.
