In this video we compare two distinct methods of tracking time: a classic analog system employing a basic motor and gear setup, and a modern, cost-effective digital solution. The analog system relies on the critical 60 Hz electrical wave, a standard maintained diligently by utility companies for accuracy and reliability.

Key Highlights:

Analog vs Digital Timekeeping: Understand the mechanics behind an analog outlet timer and how it contrasts with digital technology.
Technical Insights: Gain insights into the role of a consistent 60 Hz wave and why it's crucial for both analog and digital time devices.
Utility Companies' Role: Learn about the responsibilities of utilities in ensuring the precision of these timekeeping systems.
