WHAT IS A CLOCK THING?

Way back during the old times, people rely on sun and water to measure time. Time readings were not accurate then, not until the discovery of mechanical and electrical clocks. A mechanical clock is composed of a set of gears, a spring and a weight that is responsible for the clock’s movement, while an electrical clock uses electricity or battery as a power source. Later on, modern technology introduced atomic and digital clocks and still continues to study for ways to improve it. Varieties of Clocks. There are many different kinds of clocks. A clock that displays the current time in different parts of the world is called a world clock. A world clock
