[size=30]DailyDirt: Just Like Clockwork[/size]

“Current robotic developments are impressive, but about 200 years ago,
mechanical watches and clockwork mechanisms were at the height of
miniaturized, complex technology. Watch complications
(the functions other than the time in hours and minutes) have continued
to grow in complexity with thousands of parts and dozens of
time-related functions, but these features can’t quite compare to the
millions of “apps” that are available now. Check out a few of these
clockwork examples and stop complaining about needing to recharge your
battery every night.”
