Minister of State for IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar has shared a video of the first demonstration of a computer mouse given by inventor Douglas Engelbart in 1968. The mouse built for the demonstration, later hailed as the 'Mother of All Demos', was an early prototype with three buttons. "Name of this...hardware was inspired by...resemblance to rodent's tail," Chandrasekhar wrote on X.
