What is the defintion of a computer cursor?
The computer cursor is the little arrow (or whatever you have
set it as) that moves about the screen when you move your mouse, or
finger on a trackpad. You use it to click things, drag things
around, highlight words, and things to that effect. When the cursor
looks like an animated glove, the item your cursor is hovering over
may be clicked on for something to happen. If the computer is
loading, it may appear as an hourglass, or on a mac, a "colorful
spinning wheel of death." A computer cursor can also take the shape
of a sword or armored glove depending on what game or application
you are using. This isn't the exact denotation, but close enough
XD.
