Why can the mouse cursor go infinitely to the right on the screen but left up and down not?
The reason why the mouse cursor can go infinitely to the right on the screen but not left, up, or down is due to the way the computer's operating system is designed. The operating system is responsible for managing the computer's hardware and software resources, including the mouse. The operating system creates a virtual desktop that is much larger than the physical screen. This allows the mouse cursor to move freely within the virtual desktop, even if it would move off the edge of the physical screen.
When the mouse cursor reaches the edge of the physical screen, the operating system automatically scrolls the virtual desktop so that the cursor remains visible. This allows the user to continue moving the cursor in the same direction without having to stop and reposition it.
The operating system does not scroll the virtual desktop in the other directions because it would cause problems with other elements on the screen. For example, if the operating system scrolled the virtual desktop up when the mouse cursor reached the top of the screen, it would cause the title bar of the active window to disappear.
