The mouse is as good as dead.
interesting article about the “death” of the computer mouse
mouse’s dominance as the leading pointing devices may be over within 2 to 4 years
the author Mike Elgan point out that developments like
1. Apple’s giant trackpad with multi-touch.
2. Gaming pointing devices.
3. “Brain-reading” devices.
4. Apple iPhone and the “iPhone Killers.”
are changing our mouse habits.
Besides the author predicts that the next generation of operating systems will also contribute to the death of mice
Microsoft has already announced that Windows 7 will be optimized for Microsoft Surface-like touch interfaces. And I’m confident that Apple will take advantage of its many patents for “multi-touch” systems
relevancy
good point (changes are sometimes hard to recognize)
I´m curious about the upcoming operating systems – of course
