What do you use the abacus for in today's society?

Abaci have the advantage that the batteries don't wear out (as there aren't any), which makes their use in places with limited supply of power preferable.

New events of science and technology that are like old events in the past?
The advent of computers caused a return to binary from decimal. The abacus, the first digital calculator, was in use in Ancient China and is based on The Tao, the basis of the Chinese religion that one requires a place to put something before you can have something. Tao Te Ching: In the beginning was the Ought: chi(the one) entered the Ought, and the one became yin(the two), the two became yang (the three), and the three became the ten-thousand things (everything of one kind) in The Cosmic Image. It basically has similar reasoning to science's Big Bang Theory! The Chinese abacus and the Roman abacus look totally different, but they both seem to be based on two hands with five fingers on each; Roman numerals follow the same pattern. Could you explain in detail how the Chinese abacus also works on a one-two-three principle ?
