The muse lked like a wden bx with tw metal (金属) wheels n the frnt and the left side and a single buttn n the tp, Engelbart called it the “Bug”. But the lng cable n the back made it lk mre like a
“Muse”, and the nickname quickly became ppular and well knwn amng users. Engelbart’s muse lked simple, but it changed the way peple used cmputers.
The first imprvement came eight years later, in 1972. Bill English, an American cmputer engineer, changed the wheels int a ball at the bttm f the muse. The “Ball Muse” was easier t use. It was such a success that it culd be fund in almst every ffice in the 1980s and 1990s. This prduct als had its prblems, thugh.
