See how working together can help to overcome issues?
But that would mean I would have to live through the 80's, I've heard the music was 5hite?? I might just stay put in this brave new world.
Where are all the flying cars and silver clothes?
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
What u got? I was thinking of buying an Omega Planet Ocean to replace my Casio (30 m water resist. with stopwatch too).
Have a look at Citizen. They do chronograph watches using an Ecodrive movement - never need batteries. They look like proper timepieces, with some clever gadgetry. I have an E210 model that looks like a Breitling, but for far less £££s.
My work computer has a clock. Even if it didn't, there are some on the walls as well.
My car has a clock.
If my TV and Sky box and various other bits of AV equipment didn't have clocks, there's one on the wall above them.
My mobile phone and PDA have clocks.
The alarm-clock next to my bed has a clock.
The oven and microwave in the kitchen have clocks.
When would I need a watch?
I gave up wearing one a couple of years ago.
I think for most people, mobiles should be the new watches. You always have them with you, and they do the jobs of telling the time and being a status symbol. (But mine lives in my car, usually switched off in a storage compartment.)
I saw a nice one the other day - can't remember if it was Casio or Citizen or Seiko or something. It was titanium cased, ecodrive, and it had one of those atomic clock chips in it to set the time and date automagically. I should have bought one, but mine still works.
I was actually contemplating only wearing a watch for dress occasions and just using the clock on my mobile phone or pc screen instead...
