The Human Clock

I’ve not worn a watch for years for reasons too dull to mention. For similarly dull reasons I’ve recently needed to embark on a dull shopping trip to various dull watch vendors to look at various overbig, overstrappy overpriced, dull as ditchwater watches before electing to purchase the least offensive of the bunch. Dull, dull, dull. Dull and pointless indeed when you consider the timekeeping excitement which is the human clock.

Rather than a boring old circular watch face with some numbers and pointy hands the human clock tells the time through the medium of well … humans. Every minute of every day is displayed by a new piccie that someone has sent it. From the routine street numbers, to birthday cakes, to patterns in the snow to car registrations – every field of human endeavour is used to tell the time. It’s a humanist marvel.

So throw out your watches people and tell the time through the medium of the human clock. In fact in these wireless times it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to fashion a watch type device that would display the human watch where ever you are - the iHumanClock. Come on Apple, make it happen.
