Wake Up Call

Sometimes people like to reminisce about life before certain inventions. It’s difficult to remember what people did before the internet or cell phones or TV or belly buttons. Life seems to have been completely different and quite inefficient by today’s standards.

You know what invention doesn’t get enough attention? Alarm Clocks. Just about everyone with a job uses one. What did people do before them? Were wake-up call services really popular? I bet the invention of alarm clocks was the worst day in lives of many wake-up call service executives.

“So wait, you just tell this clock thing what time to wake you up and it makes some annoying noise? Shit.” It went something like that.

And what about before phones? Did people rely on roosters? Or do alarm clocks pre-date phones? I need answers.
