Steve Jobs then used the angled pointer on Apple’s first Mac, opting for the all-black design with a white outline. Engelbart then decided to tilt the arrow at an approximately 45° angle. However, back in the day, computer displays had low resolution, which made the small vertical arrow hard to notice on the screen.
The first cursor was designed as a simple arrow pointing up. But in the 1960s, Douglas Engelbart created the world’s first mouse, forever changing the way people interact with computers. Until then, data had to be entered and manipulated by using commands on a keyboard, which, at times, was quite time-consuming and tiring. The invention of the mouse and implementation of the cursor led to a revolution in user interaction.
