INDIAN ABACUS - CREATIVITY

CREATIVITY

One feature that differentiates human beings from other creatures of this planet is the ability of the humans to learn, store and apply data. It is the application of the mind that has brought our ancestors, from cave dwelling to posh living in skyscrapers. That quality of humans which ensures that every day is not same as any other day is called creativity. What this creativity is? Is it possessed by all? Is it in born or can be developed? Let us probe deep in to the subject. I posed a question to a group of people. To name some of the creative minds and pat came the reply- “Einstein”… “Thomas Alva Edison”…..”Copernicus “ etc. Next, the group was prompted with another question “ What about Bill Gates” ? After a small pause came a halfhearted reply. “Uh. Yah. But Bill Gates is one of the richest in the world..” I further added -“ a score of others who commit many heinous crimes by cleverly identifying loop holes in systems “ Some one replied “ Yes, They are criminals but creative” . From the interaction I found that the people link creativity to some new view point which can be perceived by any of our senses .It may be a good music , a thrilling novel , a joke,a piece of art ,a delicious dish etc. Since science explains the reasons for everything, we tend to link science with something creative. But we do not know how much a person has toiled to become rich , we do not include rich people as creative . However in reality almost all rich people who have earned hard money are creative and they have become rich by truly applying their minds. 

We respect Einstein for his theory of relativity but he is not remembered as a violin maestro ,though playing the instrument was one of his passions. Many months or even years would have been spent by him before proposing the relative theories. Newton, Edison and many others who changed the course of our history have spent their lives in one profession, the exception being Leonardo - Da -Vinci, though basically a scientist ,excelled in many other fields as a sculptor, painter doctor etc.. But the exceptions are a very few and can be ignored. They have achieved their results after much sweat and definitely not by chance or by luck. They might be even from humble backgrounds and might have had even illiterate parents. The following conclusions are drawn from the above.

- Any body can become creative

- Creativity is field specific

- Creativity is linked to results. Only those who have shown results are considered creative

- Creativity is a result of hard work.

In a way, philosophers are also called creative as the result of their creativity is to give tenets for better living. What makes the creative people to work tirelessly to achieve results ?Finding an answer to this question may be difficult because the motive lies in some remote corner of his heart. Love for

humanity , urge to fulfill their self esteem , negative feelings like -hurt feelings, challenges ,poverty and parental directives etc. could be some of the drivers but one common factor among creative people is their “ urge” .The urge may be a positive or a negative energy but the urge gives the focus for all the achievers. The urge is the restlessness and the turbulence in the minds of the creative people.

A New Generation Tool

 

The comparison giving point wise advantages of Indian Abacus over the Conventional Abacus (Current Abacus) gives more in-depth understanding.

Feature1 Indian Abacus, as it looks with all the sliders in value position. (sliders are like the beads in the convention abacus) The basic frame, which is a single integral piece, is chosen to be made in the Yellowish Cream colour, which is a very friendly background for the eyes to work with. The basic frame consists of the upper and lower window positions, which are separated by a slim rib (which can be also called the bar), hosting the home points, represented by a thick DOTS. The sliders could be moved up and down to display value & non value positions by uncovering and/or covering the colour images.

Advantage: Colour display makes the eyes catch the slider positions thereby the values distinctly. The eye capture of the colours to determine the value many times faster than that happening in the conventional abacus where the beads are homogenous / uniform in colour and therefore distinction between the value and non-value beads is very difficult. Further the non-value beads tend to disturb the vision and the abacus practitioner has a blurred vision of the value beads and the values.

Benefits: Colour display of the slider positions and values strike the brains attention much faster and clearer (many times more than the conventional abacus bead positions and values)

Feature2 The conventional abacus has its inherent limitations. In the Indian Abacus, which is a highly dynamic tool, the slider positions showing colours are the value positions and the slider positions which sink with creamish background are considered as non-value positions.

Advantages: In the Indian Abacus, the colour and non-colour positions of sliders remove the confusions and the disturbing view, as experienced in the Conventional Abacus. The features mean either value or no value positions which are clear and understanding & memory registry are easier.

Benefits: Brain has greater advantage to capture and register the colours thus making the calculations more correct and brain skills better.

Feature 3 All the components of the Indian Abacus are made of ABS plastic, except the fasteners which are metallic. The back cover is not just a cover but holding on to the frame from the back makes compact housing for the 17 window slots and sliding beads giving them a perfect fit.

Advantage: The back cover houses the important components together and in proper positions and closely synchronized.
