Hourglass

I guess this was the clock after the sundial, or was it?  What came first?  Today’s clocks not only ring but they text, email and surf.  I haven’t worn a watch for the purpose of time telling in over 4 years.  My phone has the time, my computer screen has the time. In my 800 sqft apartment I have 5 digital clocks and 3 of them are within inches of each other.  Despite this, my dad says I should have a wall clock, “one with hands”.  I know that time is ticking away, and frankly I don’t want an audible reminder.
