Why the Abacus is Important
The abacus is important because without it we wouldn't have calculators today. The abacus was one of the first calculators to be invented. If Cheng Dawei didn't come up with the idea to make the abacus, I don't know what we would do. We were able to create the more advanced calculators today because of the abacus. If the abacus was never made, we probably wouldn't have thought about inventing a more advanced calculator.
