Name the father of the modern abacus? Well there ain’t any answer as I was dishing it out but when you give a look at the one developed by designer David Shaw, you got to give him that credit deservedly. Modern to the core, he chose to revive the retro doodad with an inventive theme. His version is an Electronic Printer Abacus that comes with sensors which record the operator’s actions and comprehend the arrangement of the beads. This data is then transferred to an LCD readout and printer. The placement of the operative buttons on the device depicts development of retro thingamajig from the east to the west. A transition in the design with enhanced capability was a must for this vintage gadget and hopefully the impressiveness in design could render it to severe usage again, an endeavor that the designer has in mind for the Americans.
