Accounting for accountants, we find ourselves a-counting. Thankfully, it’s not a math heavy episode, otherwise we’d have to count ourselves out.

But this is a bit of the story about how counting came to be, and how it took us a long time to get to the point where we could count anything we wanted. Because it wasn’t easy at first and, for many of us, it isn’t easy now either, but there is a device that might make the whole thing go more smoothly if only we still valued its use: The abacus.
