Load Your Entire Day With the Progress Bar Clock
Andrew Robichaud — August 24, 2009 — Art & Design
The Progress Bar Clock directly mimics the loading bar on your PC. The Progress Bar Clock progressively fills up as your day continues. It has 24 applicable alarms that are plugged-in tabs just above the bar.
Technology, more specifically computers, has become more familiar to us than most physical activities. Anyone with a computer has seen that brutal loading bar that is a nightmare to begin with but a blessing once finished. What better way to translate that idea than into a clock?
I’m not sure whether more technologically-oriented items might drive a person crazy or add a whimsical element to our electronics. I’m down for the clock though!
