History of clocks:

In the 13th century, Al-Jazari, an engineer from Mesopotamia  made numerous clocks of all shapes and sizes. I think  that clocks have changed since the past by, there are now many more types of clocks like the ones above, also clocks have gotten more sophisticated and they have more add-ons such as; alarms,  touch screen ability and you say stop the alarm will stop, all of this  contained in a tiny clock.
