subject: Digital Wall Clock - The Easier Read Alternative To Digital Models [print this page] A digital wall clock became popular in the late nineteen seventies. Some say these are better than analog clocks, while others disagree.
This type of clock has numbers in a line instead of in a circle. They are typically electronic and either flip over or blink as each second passes. They can be plugged into the wall, run on batteries, or run on solar power. These clocks can be seen in the dark because the screen is typically back lit.
There are several plain and designer styles of the digital wall clock to choose from. Some even look much like traditional clocks, only they run off of electricity as opposed to gears. These clocks are typically fashioned out of plastic and is not as ornate as a traditional clock.
These were a trend initially and everyone rushed out to buy one, but what happened over time was that an entire generation that grew up during this era had difficulty learning to tell time on analog clocks.
These can be purchased anywhere home goods are sold. Most of the models you will find on store shelves will be affordable and only cost ten to twenty dollars. Nothing lasts forever, and even the highest quality model of digital clock will eventually die. Most are said to live between 20 and 30 years.
These clocks used to be a very familiar item in most American homes, but things are slowly changing as new and inventive ways to tell time and get things done in general are being thought up. A digital wall clock is typically functional but may not be of the highest quality craftsmanship.
