The days of the internet rodent - the computer mouse are most likely over...

Its been 40 years since the advent of the computer mouse, but one leading research company, Gartner's analyst predicts the demise of the mouse within 3-5 years.

Gestural computer mechanisms like touch screens and facial recognition devices could take over." The mouse is fine in the desktop environment, but for home entertainment or working on the notebook its over." the analyst declared.

The new products with new interactive interfaces will be inspired by the world of gaming.

Well,it is not new because technology continues to innovate. There are now more hightech computers which don't need the use of mouse. I bet you wouldn't need payday loans to buy another mouse for your pc.

I know they have a screen...

you can roll up and hang on the wall.

have developed a computer the size of a pen and it doesn't even need a keyboard or mouse. You type on the table top. There is no monitor either. Everything is projected and nothing but th epen is real.

What? I can't believe it

I've just bought a new mat for my little rodent too. He's a cute cheeky little fellow.
