Description
First of all, what is a clock?
The clock is a machine, used mostly to indicate the exact time in each moment. Also it can be used for verify , keep and measure the time.
Characteristics
In the past the clocks were made of rich materials like: Diamonds, gold, etc. But now a days they can be personalized with the material or color you want. Clocks are used in houses, public spaces, in our computers, etc.
How does it work?
The clock is a very usefull creation, but how does it work A clock (like the one that we see in the image), works with a mechanism mostly made of gear (a material that spins moving in this case the sticks of the needles). This creates that the needles spin in a certain time indicating the exact hour (that you can modificate).
And here is an image were it explains the significations of the numbers in the clock.
Why it was invented?
The clock was invented in the past. This is amazing because it was invented to measure the motions. For example: Of the sun, the water and the sand. Going forward on the time, the humans discovered that the earth rotates, so they created a better clock seeing the sun motion, so the clock was used to measure the time
Is it useful, and why?
The clock is very useful. The clock is one of the most important device in civilization, because everything we know depends on the time. If we dont have clocks we werent able to know programs to do. But It also can be bad. Because we can change our clocks, also they can be bad because the clock shows the time and if we dont have time we can be nervous and generate big problems.
Inventor and time it was invented
The name of the inventor of the modern clock was Peter Henlein. He was born in Germany exactly in Nuremburg. He was born in 1485 and he died in 1542.
He was a locksmith, but one day he decided to modern the clock, by puting a dock in the middel for doing force, so this can do that the clock was more small
Clocks during the time
And here is another one that the egypts had made.
Here can we see an image that show as how the clocks have been changed during the years.
Present and future
In the present the clocks are very usefull and the pepole used them frecuently, but what is gonna happen in the future? My opinion of the clocks in the future are that they are going to be less used by people manually, because they are in the phones and in all electric materials so they are going to be in screens.
Curiosities
The clock was mainly created by the egyptians that was the first one of all time
Also another curiositie is that the first modern clock had errors between 15 and 30 minutes and the people was confused so they camed late to their works so that is funny
