Furry Mice

Imagine yourself: alone in the dark, enraptured by something on your computer monitor (an in-depth article on world politcs, an online-only Sale notice from your favorite boutique, pictures of yummy Johnny Depp, etc...). A hyperlink invites you to click for more. You reach your clicking-hand blindly out into the shadows, and it finds itself clutching something small, and furry, with a long-tail and a beady red eye. A mouse. Your mouse. Your computer mouse. I'm sorry - but if the fur-covered Cyclops from Geppeto found its way onto my desktop, you'd hear the screaming for miles. I have no objection to designers trying to make the computer user's experience more sensual - and when they find a way to apply this sort of technology to those online photos of Johnny Depp - I'll be first in line to give it a try.
