The story of Mouse starts from 1960. It was invented by Douglas Carl Engelbart. But at that time the mouse did not look the same as it looks today. It was made of wood and had two wheels. Its name used to be ‘pointer device’ in the early times. Let us know the facts related to this.
Computer has become an essential part of everyone’s life. Just as a computer plays a role for us, similarly a mouse is required to operate a computer or laptop.
Some people can manage without a mouse also. But apart from all this, have you ever wondered while working with a mouse that how it got its name Mouse? Its story is very interesting. In this article we will know how its mouse was kept.
The story of the mouse is interesting…
The history of Mouse begins in 1960, when Douglas Carl Engelbart created it. However, the mouse did not appear the same back then as it does now. It had two wheels and was constructed of wood. In the past, it was known as a “pointer device.” It was once referred to as “Turtle.”
This is how the mouse got its name
When Douglas Carl Engelbart invented it, he noticed that it looked like a rat. This device also works with the same speed with which a rat runs, so in such a situation, it seemed right to call this device a mouse and since then it is known as a mouse.
It is said that for some time it was also called Turtle. But the turtle is very slow, so it came to be known as the mouse.
Today’s mouse has changed
The mice available nowadays are equipped with modern technology. They are provided with the facility of Bluetooth connectivity, due to which they sync with PC or laptop without any wire.
