Dude! I had this exact alarm clock when I was a kid!

I'm 40 now and use my phone as an alarm clock. I haven't had a dedicated alarm clock in like 15 years now.

Pretty sure I've owned that thing

When I was very young I had a similar clock but instead of digital with a screen, it had those flipping number boards. It was really cool and was the coolest thing I owned until something caused the clock to start smelling smoky whenever it was plugged in.

My brother had the flippy one. The noise was a little much for me.

Those things were more digital than digital, but would still get beat by nixie tubes.

Do people still not have these kind of alarm clocks? I still use one very similiar to this.

I think most people just use their phones. I can't say that I've even seen a dedicated alarm clock in half a decade, at least.

Oh, I don't use my phone. If something happens where it's not charging (for whatever reason) then I'm not late for work.

That's why I set an alarm on both my phone and my smartwatch.

I don't trust phones because I've had several that simply failed to activate the alarm and missed something important.
