Before clocks, people didn’t know what time it was, they just knew when the sun came up or went down. But when the first clocks appeared, like big bells that rang at certain times, people started to feel like time had a schedule. It became easier to plan things like meals and work because now everyone could know when it was time for something.
Examples
- The first clocks helped farmers know when it was time for lunch by ringing a bell at noon.
- Time became something you could count because clocks showed hours instead of just day or night.
- Clocks in schools let students and teachers know exactly when to start class.
