Hardware, Embedded Systems One button, two buttons, three buttons, ten million buttons. Beige, black, white, red with polka dots. Glow-in-the-dark, see through. Right-handed, left-handed, both. Vertical for RSI patients, trackballs for weirdoes like myself, Apple's puck mouse for sado-masochists. The ubiquitous mouse comes in all possible shapes, forms, sizes, and colours, but according to our friend The Analyst, the glorious age of the mouse is coming to and end. Do we believe The Analyst?

the mouse was a toy back in the days when GUI computing was also a toy ..the mouse took the center stage when the GUI computing on a flat, 2D monitors became the standard in desktop computing ..

for the mouse to go way, we will have to first move away from the 2D world of computing we have today to something else ..

it will take a move as drastic as a CLI to GUI computing for this "dream" to come to reality
