In the modern world there are such objects, without which in the literal sense of the word as without hands. A computer mouse is one of those devices that the user can hardly do without. Its main purpose is to rebuild the mechanical movements of the computer user into the movement of the cursor on the screen. Of course, we can get by with just one keyboard, touchscreen or touchpad, but still we can compare working at a computer without a mouse with riding a bicycle without pedals. Let's find out in which year the mouse was invented and who its creator is.

Now we have figured out in which year the computer mouse was invented, and who did it. Then the question remains open - what awaits it in the future? No one knows for sure, but the fact that it will remain an attribute of interaction with a computer in the coming decades is difficult to dispute. Another thing, in what form this will happen - in the sensory, virtual or biomechanical. Time, of course, will put everything in its place, and we only need to wait for progress to move on.
