    there was a story on tv about kids learning to use the abacus.. obviously asian kids as the abacus was widely used in asia.

    comment was made that people can actually visualize the abacus in their mind - so people can do complex calculations in their brain .. compared to just pressing a few keys on a calculator.

    it seems that australia is falling behind the world in maths - this will have flow through effects in the future .. ie we will become a dumb society
