Have you ever thought about the origins of technology?
Where did the mouse-pointer-hand icon come from? How did they come-up with that idea? Why not just leave the pointer as a … well … pointer?
The Internet is a relatively new technology, yet, no one knows how or why this was the adopted practice?
Help me out, does anyone know where this came from?
If you do, please, raise your hand!
Oh.
Never mind.

I thought it came from when Scotty picked a mouse up with a pointy hand a spoke into it 😉 (oh dear have I just shown my true star trek geekyness?)

Indeed, you have, James. Indeed, you have.
