Once upon a time, going from analog clocks to digital seemed to imply a kind of laziness - it's like you were having the time handed to you without effort.But let's face it: on some days, even reading those numbers can be too much. Hence the Verbarius. This sleek, clock will give you the time in what they call "human" form: "A quarter to three" rather than "2:45." "Noon." "Midnight."
My question: what do they do with those slightly awkward times, like 4:17? Is 2:25 the same as half-past?
(Or am i just missing the point, asking myself these questions?)
