Computer mouse first appeared 29 years ago. Now, technology, touch and motion challenging the dominance of this primary device, experts agree its existence a matter of time.
Designing Interfaces gestural writer Daniel Saffer said, the challenge of the mouse first appeared in the early 1990s when IBM released the first laptop to use the track ball. In addition, many other tools that began to appear that also threatened her.

Multi-touch technology on the Apple iPhone and iPad shows that users only need a finger to aim and click. Professionals also have started to switch from mouse to a more supportive devices, such as the Cintiq Wacom and stylus.

"Age of the computer mouse lived 10 years longer," said Saffer.

Use the mouse certainly is decreased even soon see the end. "This device into the endangered list. "

Similarly, not everyone feels the mouse will disappear entirely.
Alternative input devices to replace the mouse in some contexts but the mouse is still able to work better in many situations than the input motion and touch, says researcher and specialist input Microsoft's Bill Buxton.

In the eyes of Buxton, this device could be the best tool for several tasks at once the worst tools for other tasks. Buxton believes the use of the mouse will dwindle but not extinct.

"I think the mouse will never be lost. Multi-touch will not replace the mouse as television replaced cinema, "says Buxton.

To ease between the keyboard and pointing device, mouse still will be a winner, continued Buxton. However, for other tasks, users need a diverse ecosystem of new devices for computer tasks also began to vary.
