Evolution of Alarm Clocks

The alarm clocks have been taking different forms since Before Christ. The only difference was that they weren’t made of steel or plastic and didn’t have numbers. They were in the form of roosters or church bells. The morning sun – a natural wake-up light – was also a type of noiseless alarm clock which stated that it is a cue to leave all the laziness behind and commence the day.

Later, industries came into the picture and so did workers. The industries had “knocker-ups” who use to bang hardly on people’s door to wake them up for the work. However, the knockers-uppers couldn’t perform their duty properly and were proven to be insufficient and thus, mechanical clocks were introduced.
