On December 9, 1968, Douglas C. Engelbart and the group of 17 researchers working with him in the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, CA, presented a 90-minute live public demonstration of the online system, NLS where they presented their first working mouse.  A video of this presentation can be found at:

Maybe it is only a coincidence  but the inventor of the  other famous mouse was born on Dec 5th 1901 .

 

I recommend that you take a small post-it and write "HAPPY MOUSE DAY!" on it and place it on the bottom of a coworkers mouse.

    Just imagine life without a mouse. I guess we wouldn't know any better. I find it quite remarkable that it has stayed almost identical in operation for 40 years. Yes, the interface connection has changed and optical is taking more market share, but the concept is used by billions of people on a daily basis.

    What will be the next breakthough new technology? Gesture recognition? Thought processing? I guess we have to just wait and see.
