TIME

I found this in a Northwest Earth Insitute publication. Found it interesting. Y'all might too.

"The analog clock, with its hour and minute hands spinning around the clock face, at least preserves the sense of time as a natural, organic cycle. Once around with the second hand constitutes a minute; one revolution of the minute hand marks an hour, and the two revolutions of the hour hand completes a day.
But in our electronic economy, we increasingly measure time by the digital clock, a clock in which the symbolic link to time as either a flow or a cycle is lost entirely. With the digital clock--the computer's clock--time is reduced to a succession of numbered units, and each unit pinpoints an exact spot in time just a surely as longitude and latitude pinpoint a spot on the globe."
