Revolutionizing the Computer Mouse: A Scientist's Perspective

[T.O.E Dream]

Flatulence. This is the one thing I can't stand at work especially, where I can't simply leave my station but instead have to smell someone's farts. It's worse in the restrooms.

Put an end to that mess and you'd make a fortune!

Air freshener?

Not that I think it need sot be changed. What's missing?

I think that it should be more interactive. Maybe using your hand as a mouse.

I personally think that the computer mouse needs to be reinvented. It's stayed practically the same ever since it was made.

Some of the original mice were really frustrating to use. A little rectangular box with a ball bearing sans the all-important coating of rubber. Inside were also 2 mechanical encoders wheels with little spring steel wires riding on drums with encoding-contacts.

The preferred method to fix the commonly errant mouse was to throw it vigerously against the nearest wall.
