- Description
- In 1968, Douglas C. Engelbart and researchers at the the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, CA introduced the first design of the computer mouse. Previously, manipulation of on-screen environments had required light pens or keyboard strokes. Although this mouse, an exact replica of the original (including the scuffs and dents), looks unweildy, it foreshadows what would soon become the preferred method of non-keyboard based computer input.
