Development of e-abacus

Nowadays, most people prefer to use calculator as it is the easiest machine to perform their calculation. However, using calculator would not illustrate how the calculation was performed. On the other hand, abacus illustrates the steps to perform mathematic operations, although it takes time to lear...
