Cursor

A cursor is a visual indicator on a computer screen that shows where the next action will occur, such as where typed text will appear or which part of a document is selected. Think of it like a blinking line or arrow that guides your input, similar to a cursor arrow on a map indicating a position. It helps users navigate, select, and interact with digital content efficiently, whether typing, clicking, or editing. The cursor's appearance and behavior can change based on the activity or application, providing useful feedback during your computer usage.
