In the era when computers were still giant calculators, American researcher Douglas Engelbart envisioned computers as tools to augment human intelligence. The device born from that research became known as the 'mouse.'
In 1968, Engelbart demonstrated the manipulation of on-screen information using a mouse, presenting modern concepts such as hypertext, windows, and collaborative editing. Later, through research at Xerox PARC and its introduction to personal computers by Apple, the mouse reached the general public. This book explores this history and reflects on the changes in the relationship between humans and computers.
Includes 13 chapters covering everything from birth and evolution to redefinition.
