Computer Science Education Week
Today is day 2 of Computer Science Education Week! Each day this week, we will be sharing some trivia about the world of computing!
Today’s topic: the computer mouse!
A man named Doug Engelbart invented the idea of the computer mouse back in 1961. His mind was mulling over the challenge of making interactive computing more efficient. It occurred to him that, using a pair of small wheels traversing a tabletop, a computer could track their combined rotations and move the cursor on the screen. Believe it or not: his first prototype was made out of wood.
So, today, as you are clicking away on your computer screen, think of Doug and thank a computer scientist!
