Clocks Keep The World On Time

It is hard to imagine what the world would be like without clocks. The thought of school starting at eight o'clock without a clock available to each student might boggle the mind. A school with more than a thousand students would probably have students showing up at a thousand different times. The teachers would be a similar story. A school of one thousand students would have many teachers, and without clocks these teachers might show up at a different time than the students. Some of the teachers might show up before the students, and then they would not have anyone to teach. They might show up later than the students, and this situation might be worse. Imagine a thousand students with no teachers.

A school would be chaos without clocks, but other institutions might be even worse. Imagine a courtroom running without clocks. Without a judge in place, the proceedings would not start. Highly paid lawyers might be sitting for an extended period of time if the judge were not there to run the trials. A criminal might not get the trial started on time, and they would have to wait nervously because there were no clocks to start the proceedings at a particular time. There would be no evidence of a particular time.

Clocks Keep The Economy And Transportation Moving Properly

Business might be a great mess without any clocks. Imagine the boss showing up for a meeting while the other employees are at lunch. The boss would probably be very annoyed with the employees, and they might even get fired. The meeting would be totally unproductive without the important players gathered in the same place. A business that missed meetings would surely lose business very quickly. Without business, the accountants would surely be complaining about the absence of funds. These people might miss the funds more than they miss the employees.

Other organizations might be worse off than business without clocks. An airport would have the airplane boarding according to whim rather than a clock, and the passengers would arrive on a whimsical schedule. Passengers headed for one destination might not arrive before the plane going to that destination left. Passengers might have to go to the destination that matches their arrival time. People going to Pittsburgh might not be too happy to arrive late for that plane, and they might have to go to Seattle instead. Those passengers who have business in Pittsburgh might not be too productive in Seattle. They might enjoy the fish market in Seattle, however.
