Consider the freedom that is provided by the mouse, its wheel, and its click buttons.
Are they (and their blue-headed stepchild, the hotlink) the most far-reaching invention of the last 50 years?
Imagine how different your web experience would be if you had to type in commands, or use arrow keys for everything you wanted to do.
Thanks to Xerox for developing the computer mouse. Too bad they pretty much gave it to Steve Jobs

common core reading
The mouse and the interface it allowed made computers mainstreamable to the public. DOS was a system similar to learning a new language, and required a substantial investment in time and effort to master. Point and click menus and mouses or mice made it doable by lay people without having to actually think about it.
Both items brought computers to the public in my opinion, and made a “perfect storm” when combined with the internet.
And it made Pron so much easier to find.
And it kept one hand free.
