Who Invented Alarm Clocks?

Alarm Clocks, Guest Post, History

Alarm clocks – love them or hate them, they ARE truly important in our lives.

Pretty much everyone has to work for a living. And, in order to hang onto our jobs in this difficult economy, it’s important to get to work on time each day. Though we hate the fact that alarm clocks wake us up in the middle of exciting dreams we are, at the end of the day, thankful that they help us keep our main sources of income.

But have you ever thought about who invented the alarm clock and when? That is exactly what this interesting infographic accomplishes so successfully: it traces back the history of alarm clocks, back to their earliest origins (which were basically sundials and water clocks in ancient times).

The Infographic on “The History of Alarm Clocks” is brought to you by the OnlineClock.net team.

    Even if you don’t work for a living… I hate them and I need them just to get my child to school on time!

      Uh oh, is it because the captcha shows words and numbers? My hosting co insists on me using it, but perhaps I can find a better one?
