Mouse Inventor Dies
This evening I read that Doug Engelbart, the inventor of the mouse, died. See Computer mouse inventor Doug Engelbart dies at 88.
I had never heard of him before today, and it never dawned on me to think about how the mouse that we all use every day came into existence!
So thank you Mr. Engelbart for your invention, and may you rest in peace.
(On a side note, the associated 10 inventors who didn’t get mega-rich from their inventions article is also an interesting read.)
