Still Think The Mouse Isn’t Dead?

We've been over this . But many of you felt the need to argue — passionately — about the fate of an input device we all use today: the mouse. I say it's dead . Well not dead, dead — yet. But the wheels are clearly in motion. Many disagree. And I thought it was worth bringing up again upon seeing the demo video that Microsoft put out there for Windows 8. I mean, does anyone still think the mouse isn't dead? I can understand that after Apple put a gun to the head of the mouse with the release of the Magic Trackpad, people were skeptical. "Apple has basically no market share!," was the basis of most of the basic arguments. The bigger point was that we're moving into a world where touch is king , lead by the smartphones and tablets. These devices are going to start influencing our more traditional computers, not the other way around.
