Say Goodbye to Your Mouse… I Don’t Think So!

Mouse Hand Warmer - a blanket for your computer mouse.

Leading survey company Gartner’s expert Steve Prentice estimated that computer mouse will fall out of use in about 3 or 5 years as touch screens and face recognition systems will take its place. What an estimation isn’t it? I don’t really think that mouse can disappear in such a short time. At least the designers and game players will need the use of it as its really a very short period for developing the hardware and software needed for such movement sensitive systems.

Even if it is developed it can not be produced in big quantities so the price wouldn’t be something that every end user can afford. Also I remember one other estimation of this company about linux systems. If I remember correct they estimated that more than %70 of the operating systems would be linux in the year 2008. This mouse thing is more than an estimation I guess there is some kind of a business tactic behind it. Its really hard to understand and reason the big company games so I just don’t give any importance to such news anymore.
