Today, with the personal computer craze sweeping the world, there is hardly a computer without a mouse. But few people know who invented the mouse. 195 1 year, a man named Engelbas retired from the US Navy and worked as an engineer for NASA. His life can be said to be very happy But he thought it was too boring to live like this, and he began to think about changing his life. It suddenly occurred to him that there was no trace of personal computer at that time. He said: "That was in February of 195 1, and I had this idea. At that time, it was crazy to think of sitting there and communicating with the computer. " He imagines how computers communicate with people, how to display, organize, guide and record information. From 65438 to 0963, Engelbarth established a development research center in Stanford Research Institute, and finally he was able to pursue his dream. It was in this year that he made the first mouse out of wood and a small iron wheel. In 1970s, Xerox constantly improved Engelbass's invention. 1983 1 10 In October, the "Lisa" personal computer launched by Apple Computer Company was equipped with a mouse for the first time. On the patent certificate, the official name of the mouse is "vertical and horizontal position indicator of display system", but I don't know who called it "mouse" and it soon spread. 1997, Engelbarth was awarded the Turing Award, the highest honor in the computer field, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to human-computer interaction.
