I don't really know where the origional idea for mice came from. When the buttons put on the computer were not enough, they created DOS, a program that used a regular keyboard like on the typewriter. Then, when that was improved upon the optiona were either to have the screen touch sensitive or have some sort of pointer that one could move around without touching the screan. If you have greasy hands it is much easier to clean off the mouse than the computer screan- or a touch pad for that matter, so I guess that's why we have them.

They do make them--most people hate using them though. I know a lot of people who throw a mouse into their laptop bag, even though they have a touch pad attached to the machine.

Many laptops come with touchpads. Our "old" (3 years...) IBM Thinkpad has its "Trackpoint". My spouse just prefers a mouse anyway...easier to move a hand to point rather than just a finger...!

In my opinion, computer mice are much easier to use than a touchpad. Touchpads are also really crappy for playing games on.

its more money and there will be more chance of breaking down the touch pad...

They do, but the mouse eats them.

You can buy a touchpad for a desktop
