QUOTE: "Astonishingly, despite our computerized world, we still use a method of counting that a prehistoric caveman would recognize."
QUESTION: How come there have been no knew discoveries or better ways discovered to write numbers and count? Is there a better/faster/easier way?
COMMENT: I think it is really amazing that people so long ago came up with ideas and solutions that have lasted such a long time. That even with our advancements in science and technology, we still count the same as people did when they were living in caves. We are living and acting so different than it was back then, yet we still use things they came up with. I think that is a great statement to their genius, that they were able to come up with such timeless ideas that have been able to last so long and stay current and alive and true after every advancement that has been made since.
