The Death of the Computer Mouse

Original Article: http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/07/is-the-computer.html

After reading a Wired news article about how the computer hardware company Logitech had produced and shipped one billion mouses since it was founded in 1981, I found an article describing how the mouse--as a piece of computer hardware--will be dead by 2013. This second news article describes five technologies—eye-tracking, force-feedbacks, accelerometer sensors, voice commands, and gesture recognition—that will “kill” the mouse within five years. I guess we’ll see if they are right.
