         Douglas Engelbart and his colleagues at the Stan-
         ford Research Institute were pioneers in the field of
         “human - computer interaction.” In 1964, they built a
         hand-held pointing device to manipulate images and
         text on a monitor’s screen. The prototype was a
         simple wooden box with two perpendicular metal
         wheels, a selection button, and a wire connection to
         the processor. Engelbart’s “mouse” was subse-
         quently refined by researchers at Xerox PARC and
         made popular with the release of the Apple Macin-
         tosh in 1984. Engelbart later noted, “It just looked
         like a mouse with a tail, and we called it that.”      To make it more desirable, it turns into a wireless

         An all-in-one cable management kit

         I don’t remember how                                   Forgotten apps
         many times attended a
         meeting or traveled and
         didn’t have all the cable
         connections I need for my
         smartphone or tablet. With
         some many of our new
         devices switch from USB
         C connectors I forget to
         put it in my carry bag.
         Then I ran across this new All-IN-ONE survival kit
         that fits in a credit card case and has all the connec-
         tion that I need to stay energized. The UrbzSurvival
