| | After the keyboard, the mouse is the input device most commonly used with computers today. | | | Because it frees the user from having to exclusively use the keyboard, the mouse is recognized as one of the great breakthroughs in computing. | | | In the early 1960’s, Douglas Engelbart was fascinated with a theory he called “human augmentation technology,” an idea that the computer should be used to enhance human performance. |

| | The mouse’s evolution “from the laboratory to the living room,” as one of its designers puts it, is not well known—even some Apple fanatics aren’t familiar with it—but it reveals something of the personalities of its designers, the Stanford program that trained them and even the history of Silicon Valley. | | | That device—a descendant of the original computer mouse invented by Douglas Englebart at the Stanford Research Institute in the early 1960s—was a masterpiece of high-concept technology, but a hopeless product. | | | In early 1980, most computers (including Apple&) required users to memorize text commands to perform tasks. |
