I can’t stand using trackpads on laptops. Unless I have no place to use it I always plug in a mouse. And using a touchscreen to position the cursor in a document will never be easy unless my fingers get as skinny as an anorexic model’s. And as much as I like to eat, that just ain’t happening. |
Say goodbye to the computer mouse
It’s nearly 40 years old but one leading research company says the days of the computer mouse are numbered.
A Gartner analyst predicts the demise of the computer mouse in the next three to five years.
Taking over will be so called gestural computer mechanisms like touch screens and facial recognition devices.
“The mouse works fine in the desktop environment but for home entertainment or working on a notebook it’s over,” declared analyst Steve Prentice.
He told BBC News that his prediction is driven by the efforts of consumer electronics firm which are making products with new interactive interfaces inspired by the world of gaming.

Computer User: “Let me get this straight, you want me to replace my current monitor and my computer desk, for a desk with a built-in monitor, probably costing about one grand, which will need to be replaced about every four years, the average life span for a monitor, because for some bizarre reason you think my 20 dollar mouse is too hard to use?”
