At present - the time of universal computerization - the question of what a cursor may seem to someone strange. But even now, for the first time, someone is confronted with a computer, and for him everything in this area requires clarification, including this issue.
Cursor definition
The word "cursor" comes from the English word cursor, which has many meanings, but the main thing is a "pointer".
And this pointer can show:
1. The place on the monitor (screen) where the next character will be displayed.
2. The place from which the action of various manipulators connected to a computer will be executed - such a manipulator can be a computer mouse, graphic tablet, joystick and many others.
Distinguish between text cursors and pointing device cursors.
