The Inventor of the Mouse

In a time long ago, computers weren’t the user friendly devices that we have in our homes and businesses today. They took up complete rooms, output onto printer devices and required special punched cards to program them up. You waited days for your program to run and output the data.

Thankfully, some visionaries saw the potential and envisaged our future. Doug Engelbart is one such individual. He invented many things we take for granted, of which the most significant has to be the mouse.

Channel9 has an interesting interview with Doug. However, a far better resource is the well produced Invisible Revolution website which is dedicated to Doug – the video interviews are really worth a look.
