A good book and accompanying DVD is Designing Interactions / Bill Moggridge. They covers some of the earlier days of computing. On them it shows a few other Xerox mouse designs that are totally different from what is used today. Also shows the first laptop. The book and DVD also cover up-to mid-2000s interviews looking back. Also has more than one interview / perspectives more than one for the mouse and palm pilot.
@clive Sorry I did not include you too Clive Thompson. A good history of about the first few decades of computing with interviews throughout the early to mid 2000s with some of them looking back in time and others up to that point (it was published in 2007). In the book and the DVD in the back sleeve. Each part on the DVD is ~3-5 minutes and the book a few pages for each.
