We’ve Forgotten How to Use Computers

The Atlantic  The mouse is sorely missed: “…Clicking, moving, dragging—these were elemental ways of interacting with machines, and also ways of understanding them. A mouse could burrow into folders and pull out data in its teeth. It could make you feel like you were crawling in there with the circuits. But that way of connecting to computers is defunct. The screen is just a window now, and we’re only tapping on the glass.” [I use a Mac and a mouse although I would never refer to it as Magic – and it cost extra.]
