The first computer mouse ever created…

Forget about the modern technologies for just two seconds, forget about computer mouses with fancy wireless infra-red technologies, bluetooth compatibility or those that don’t even need to be held under the palm of your hands and can easily clip to your index finger – behold the first mouse ever to be built / created!

The mouse itself was invented by Doug Engelbart in the year 1964, at the time he and his team were heavily criticised and doubted for his idea and imagination to promote computers (especially the mouse) as a future tool of communication, rather than just a machine for writing out papers more neatly.
