Despite our involvement in the computer industry — and, we have to admit, the heavy use we make of computers — we do our best to maintain our attachment to God’s creation and enjoy the things that are natural. Natural numbers are no exception.

The important part of our attachment to Nature is not getting rid of Man’s inventions (which is yet another kind of entertainment humankind came up with), but rather reminding ourselves once in a while what those things are that we play with daily.

It’s hard to believe nowadays, but back when we were kids, it was possible to do arithmetic without even knowing what a computer or calculator was. You could just scribble a couple of numbers on a piece of paper with a pencil, do some magic… et voilà! Here comes the result!

If you’re one of those weird people who happen to know there’s more to arithmetic than the buttons on your calculator, then these toys may remind you of the old times when you could do it with paper and pencil.

If you have no idea what in the world paper means (and the same goes for pencil), then you’d better go find out before it’s too late — and come again soon!
