Battery Mouse
Sometimes Simplicity Speaks for Itself, Celebrating the Classic Computer Mouse
Even with all the technology out there beckoning us to try new ways of approaching things, even with new ideas and fancy toys- sometimes old habits die hard. Nothing moves faster in this world than technology and most people are right in line waiting to turn in their next year’s laptop model or digital camera only to be in line for the years after. It’s like seeing Halloween decorations in July- people have a hard time waiting and it appears to be harder to wait as technology speeds along. While techies are anxiously waiting for new gadgets like a child waits to find coins under their pillow in place of a lost tooth, some people prefer to take the “if it’s not broke- why fix it approach,” of specific things like the computer mouse.
Â
Why not celebrate the computer mouse? It’s like the equivalent to discovering the wheel in many ways, well the wheel on the mouse was a great achievement all its own, an evolution of something that is already great! The ability to save mountains of time by being able to physically make contact within a computer screen rather than pecking Morse code to create a line in space- invited an entire population of people to embrace the personal computer that had never been able to embrace it before, and what an embrace!
Â
The classic computer mouse began with only one button. Overtime, the “right click” became a household phrase and then the ergonomic mouse brought relief to thousands of computer users’ wrists everywhere. Touch pad mice allowed computer users to scroll around a computer screen with only their index finger. Touchpad keyboards installed with laptops eliminated the computer mouse as we use to know it but the computer mouse wouldn’t leave without a fight. Old habits do die hard and the computer mouse continues to be an essential part of the laptop. Now, the classic computer mouse remains mostly the same shape as it did when it was first created, although instead of a plastic square with one button, the computer mouse resembles more of an actual mouse body with its small round shape- complete with a USB tail, which as most computer users know is slowly disappearing- the “no tail” mouse has evolved. The remote control mouse-the cordless mouse is more commonly found than no mouse at all. It’s a computer mouse that uses optical lasers to connect with the computer and is powered by a couple AA batteries. Another cordless computer mouse connects to your computer via radio signal rather than an infrared laser.
Â
It’s not hard to see why the computer mouse hasn’t gone extinct and only evolved with the ease and familiarity of its function is so necessary. Computer pens, pointers, finger computer mouse models and long distance computer mouse presentation wands have only proven the computer mouse as a dominant species of the technology world. Like a car without gas- how does one make a computer “go” without some sort of computer mouse?
The classic computer mouse will evolve but it won’t die out completely. As things are going smaller and more compact-Maybe in 10 years or less the computer mouse will be the computer- all within one little handheld machine.
