Technology And How It Became

Technology affected us all…greatly. We are given this responsibility to use it for the benefit for us and for others. But do we know how is it like before?


According Wikipedia, “The abacus (plural abaci or abacuses), also called a counting frame, is a calculating tool that was in use in Europe, China and Russia, centuries before the adoption of the written Hindu–Arabic numeral system.[1] The exact origin of the abacus is still unknown. Today, abaci are often constructed as a bamboo frame with beads sliding on wires, but originally they were beans or stones moved in grooves in sand or on tablets of wood, stone, or metal.

The abacus became an inspiration for the technology we have now. From then to now, I would say it has changed greatly and it still changes until now.

Change is always there right in front of our faces so let’s accept them.

Here is a part of an article about their life back then:

According to Fish of Gold, “ This one actually baffles me and I lived through it. How did we get anywhere without Google Maps and GPS? The answer is, not very easily. We got lost a lot. We had to stop at gas stations and ask for directions and use pay phones.”

There weren’t any Google Maps before to look on, there weren’t any GPS to rely on while your driving. But there were people to talk to…thankfully. But it was harder back then to gather information in a matter of time. That’s why we have technology, to gather information in matter of minutes, even seconds.

Technology is really helpful in our everyday lives but it could also ruin the way we feel about it.

If you have been through this threats, or have been holding on for it for too long, then let me leave you of with these quotes;
