Why the Microsoft Mouse Won’t Cut it for Next Generation Computing

Let’s face it; the electronic world is just asking to be touched. The classic computer mouse is more than 20 years old and in that time more efficient methods of working with our computers have been developed. Touch pad phones, computer screens and even touch pad computer mice are replacing technology that previously needed an external component to reach within the screen. Touch screen technology is apart of each of our lives everyday: at the gas pump, the grocery store checkout, the library and on our cell phones. So what about our standard computer mouse at home?
 
Most of us either own a Microsoft Mouse or know someone who does. Double-clicking, once a frustrating experience for novice computer users, will soon be a thing of the past as people grow accustomed to navigating their computer system via touch. The world is turning towards touch screen technology for several reasons not just because touch screens offer a faster solution. Computer mouse alternatives are quickly becoming the standard for how we spend our lives online.
 
Touch Pad Keyboards:


  • Increase productivity

  • Decrease caporal tunnel issues

  • Offer up valuable USB slots for cameras and other storage devices


 
Integrated touchpad technology works in tandem with the computer system, keeping the ability to work with data close at hand. Using a Microsoft mouse for example, means moving your hand away from the keyboard. This small movement can waste time and dwindles productivity down to bare minimums. Imagine having to reach over for a new pen every time you write a note and you've got the basic idea.
 
Separate peripherals take up precious work space, as well as valuable computing resources like extra USB slots.
 
Imagine your next business trip, you are sitting on a plane and the executive next to you pulls his dinosaur computer from his bag, un-coils the computer mouse and plugs it into his USB port, excuses himself as he asks to borrow your seat tray for his computer mouse and mouse pad. Now imagine removing your sleek, paper thin laptop with touch screen technology built into the keyboard touchpad. Imagine being hassle free, independent of space and efficient.
