subject: Try An Animated Mouse Cursor [print this page] Mouse cursors are considered as a useful and functional item that helps you in going to the desired place where you want to do the typing. They have such an unobtrusive look that we hardly notice them. The most important thing is that they are for great use. It helps in showing the exact place where the typing should be done.
I hardly even noticed my mouse cursor until the day that I had to use another computer. It was my colleague's and it had a strange animated mouse cursor in the form of an angel. I really looked bewildered and couldn't start to type at all, as I couldn't manage to point to tha specific place that I wanted.
This particular incident made me think hard about the mouse cursor and the different innovations that people are putting on their computers with an intention of personalizing them. Animation mouse cursors have come across as a source of entertainment for the children, so that they can make their cursors look more funny and beautiful. These types of cursors have become a craze for them.
I wonder how a sane individual would like to make her or his mouse cursor in the shape of a dog? Does this show sanity and grown-up thinking in any way? I have always thought that when something is practical and has a functional role, it shouldn't be made to look like a clownish gadget.
Take those stupid desktop animations, for example. They not only take large space from your memory, but they really look preposterous. But many people actually seem to adore them, even grown-up working people! It's the same case with the hideous mouse cursors: some infantile people just cannot resist the opportunity to put an animated shit in the place of their mouse cursor.
It is worth mentioning that pointing a particular thing with the help of a mouse cursor is really a hard job. People are mostly seen losing their time in fixing the problems of irregularities that take place in typing. It has been founded that there is a subtle psychological cause in some people for using the animated cursor.
