CLOCK RADIO
Measuring time is as old as the first records of civilizations and humans have found many ways to do so nowadays and in the past. It can have many faces – from the granulized measurement, like the swinging of the atom and therfore the atom clock, to the calendars, which deal with time on an even bigger scale. Interesting are though, which parameters have been used throughout time, in order to make these measurements possible. The biggest and most obvious clock hands – the sun and the moon – are still used to measure certain segments in time. So in a lot of languages there is the same word for 'month' and 'moon'.
MEASURE UNITS
Calendars are on a big scale, what clocks are simply on a smaller scale. They became so important that they determine our whole lives. When we get up, when it is time to go shopping, when it is time to go to the office, opening hours, when the cinema starts, when it ends, when our favorite radio show starts.
In times of internet, time has become an even more dreadful factor as we are way more connected with people across the globe and we have to think, what time it is, before we try to reach them in real time.
