#ThrowbackThursday - ABACUS

Abacus is a calculating tool that was in use in Europe, China and Russia, centuries before the adoption of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system.

Although today many use calculators and computers instead of abaci to calculate, abaci still remain in common use in some countries.

Did you know:
Some people who are unable to use a calculator because of visual impairment may use an abacus.

I remember i had it as a toy and used it quite well perhaps that is why i love figures.

What about you?
Did you ever use Abacus as a child?
