Writers of the world are finally getting their own gadgets. The World Clock is designed for those that do not take too kindly to numbers.
The downside of this unique time teller is that you might not get the exact on-the-dot time; instead, the Word Clock says things like “it’s about three” and “it’s ten minutes past five.”
Implications - Today's consumer is constantly on the lookout for the new and innovative. This has resulted in the release of products that give a quirky spin on the most mundane of everyday tasks, like telling the time or doing dishes. The Word Clock is a great example of an albeit unnecessary, but innovative take on an otherwise easily forgettable task.
