Oh, Goddamnit. I'm gonna upvote you, but I want you to know that I'm not happy about it.

And just because I can't resist being the "well, ackshully" guy, I think the little blinking line/box in a text editor is considered a cursor, so you'd have to remember punch cards to be a true precursor (or at the very least, the era before keyboards, but I'm sure someone can correct me there)
