| Many of you must have been wondering what the | | | | Digital clocks are those which usually display the time |
| types of modern clocks which you can choose | | | | on their little screen or monitor. Unlike the analog, the |
| nowadays are. There are actually three types; the | | | | digital clocks make use of numbers to say what time it |
| Analog, the digital and the auditory. Check out the | | | | is. Thus, even the grade school children will be able to |

| The Analog Modern Clock | | | | More often, digital clocks are battery-operated |
| These are the types of clocks which indicate time | | | | because there are chips and mini-processors inside |

| Additionally, analog clocks are usually rounded clocks | | | | You must have been wondering why there are |
| which display 12-hour interface with three hands that | | | | auditory clocks. What has hearing something to do |
| constantly moving. These hands are the hour, minute | | | | with time? Well, these type of clocks are classified |
| and second hands which are necessary to be able to | | | | under auditory clocks because they are specially-built |
