The Creation Of The Computer Mouse

TNYorker:


As the creation story goes, Steve Jobs got the idea for the modern mouse after visiting Xerox PARC in 1979.


“I had a series of ideas that I wanted to bounce off [Jobs], and I barely got two words out of my mouth when he he said, ‘No, no, no, you’ve got to do a mouse.’ I was, like,‘What’s a mouse?’ I didn’t have a clue,” Hovey told Gladwell.
