I'm sure you've all seen one, or used one, or at least heard of the Abacus. But way back in the past no one knew it, it was being invented and eventually it came to the status it has today. I want to accelerate the development and use of the abacus, but since I'm a noob when it comes to pre-1900 I'm just going to ask, what can be done to make the Abacus used in w wider range of territory? Its effects I guess are also accelerating human development, more technology faster with our primitive calculator.
So, to all you people who think that the Abacus could be used by more people to the benefit of a parallel modern world, this thread can help.
Bonus points for bringing abacus' to N. America before usual.
[someone point me to a thread where this has been done before?]
