"Hello, computer".
A mouse was a manual input device on computers of the 20th and 21st centuries. The device was known as a mouse because a cord, which connected the device to the computer, resembled the tail of a mouse. A person provided input to a computer via the mouse by rolling the mouse on a flat surface and clicking buttons.
