鼠标及其历史

我们现在人人手里用的鼠标都是由下面这个人发明的。他的英文名字是Doug Endelbart，他有一段说得十分精彩的话，下面是他的原文：

“...The world is getting more complex, and problems are getting more urgent. These must be dealt with collectively. However, human abilities to deal collectively with complex urgent problems are not increasing as fast as these problems.If you could do something to improve human capability to deal with these problems, then you'd really contribute something basic.”

...Doug Engelbart

请注意在上图中发明者左手上的鼠标模型原来是用木头做的。
