Imagine a world where no one knew what time it was, everyone just lived by the sun. Then came clocks, and suddenly, people could know exactly when to go to bed, when to wake up, and even when to eat! Clocks helped make life more organized. Before clocks, farmers worked when the sun rose or set, but with clocks, cities started working all day long. It was like magic, time became something you controlled, not just something that passed by.
Examples
- A farmer used to start work when the sun rose, but now he knows exactly when to wake up because of the clock on his wall.
- A kid goes to school every day at the same time because there is a bell that rings from the clock tower.
- A baker uses clocks to know when to open and close shop so people can buy bread whenever they need it.
