Have you seen anyone still using the abacus? Abacus is the ancient Chinese tool used by our great grandfathers for calculating or solving arithmetical problems. Its a calculating frame composed of a wood frame, beads and slide. Well it’s hard to explain the details but it is the earliest calculator, the one people used to compute mathematical problems without batteries. However during the ancient times they were no batteries so people during that time used stones or beads instead.
Old people are expert on using this even without their Large Reading Glasses on and my dad also has those calculating slides as I can remember. Although he may still have them he never have taught me how to use one either because of the fact that these methods are quite obsolete. Due to the rapid development in our technology many scientists have developed easier method of calculating things. In general things became so easy to do even cooking and teaching.
Education plays the biggest part in our economy, without it we would be dumb and useless and it would be impossible for our economy to grow and develop without it. Through the years I realized kids were more exposed to newer methods of learning. Teaching became so easy as putting the headset on and let kids watch tutorials on the computer. I was so amazed when I remember my brother already knew how to use the computer as early as five and I was defeated in an online game by a kid at age 4.
Kids nowadays are getting smarter and smarter with the help of technology, computers and newer inventions. That’s why at an early age we sometimes see kids wearing Small Reading Glasses because of these. In japan kids were allowed to explore and invent things from electricity to electronics isn’t that amazing how kids can learn easily? At a very young age they could be inventors and scientists.
I believe our technology today becomes obsolete in the next few years like the abacus. We may not now computers might not exist in the next few years but for many years everything has changes with the help of electronics and microcomputers. As we can see from large things becomes so small from bulky computers to micro computers becoming more and more efficient the same as with people getting more and more intelligent at a very young age and the next generations to come. Maybe kids in the next years to come are becoming more intelligent that as early as 1 they would be wearing Reading Glasses.
