Stopped using my calculator after it broke and bought an abacus.
- Always on
- Infinite battery life
- No accidental resets
- Looks pretty on my desk
I look at my abacus with joy everyday.
- kennywinker 5y agoI think you're being satirical, but actually I've always wanted to learn to use an abacus - and I suspect the knowledge would actually be useful in enhancing my understanding of small math operations and making my on-the-fly calculations more accurate. Better isn't always better.
