The New IT Worker Shortage

Software giant Microsoft could be set to make the working life of employees that bit easier with the launch of a new mouse. Men and women in technology and IT jobs look set to benefit from the new technology which has so far only been hinted at. No official word has yet been given on the new equipment but the company has released an animation with the tag-line 'say goodbye to laser'.The teaser has set tongues wagging across the technology world, but a full announcement is not expected to be made by the firm until an event it is holding in Seattle, USA, next month. Computer experts have already been attempting to guess at the new technology, with some such as gadget website T3 predicting it will be Blue Track technology.This is similar to LED but is joined with a wide-angle lens to allow the mouse to work on a larger variety of surfaces than the current laser version.
