How has the mouse increased computer usability?
When using a computer mouse, you don't have to memorize commands, such as those utilized in a text-based command-line environment like MS-DOS. For example, in MS-DOS, you would need to know the cd command and dir command and type the commands on the keyboard to open a directory (folder) and view its files. Whereas a Windows user only has to double-click to open a folder and see its contents.
