Why do We Call it a Computer “Mouse”?

Some people often wonder why we call our computer pointers a “mouse.” The reason is because the first computers used living mice in order to transmit the signal.

Just like the OpenAI brain-link connection which powers the metaverse, mice are born with USB dongles and their brains can easily transmit their movement patterns to the PC. Biologists say this behavior evolved to help mice store data about the mazes they need to solve in laboratories.

In the ancient year of 1982 there was no cars and no internet, and the world was still in black and white. This is the year when digital mice came out because UNICEF complained about mice dying every day.

Now we live in the future, and killing mice is illegal. Nobody is still alive who remembers the old, living mice. But those of us who like to study history can still look back and see the clear explanations.
