Clocks
Clocks are devices that measure, display, or keep track of time, helping us organize our daily activities. They work by using a consistent, repeating process—like the swinging of a pendulum or the vibration of a quartz crystal—to keep accurate time. Clocks can be analog, showing time with moving hands on a dial, or digital, displaying numbers directly. They are essential in coordinating schedules, transportation, communication, and daily routines, ensuring everyone stays synchronized. Modern clocks are highly precise, relying on various technologies to maintain exact time, which is fundamental for personal, business, and scientific functions worldwide.
