My bedside travel alarm clock, bought from Ikea for $1 years ago, ticked its last the other day. So it went into the e-waste, one less item I own. I've just realised that now there are no more analogue timepieces in this household, working or not. No handed-down-from-grandfather clocks or watches, no alarm clocks with bells on top (still shown in computer icons, what an anachronism), no roosters. 😀
It won't be replaced. Currently I'm using an old phone as an alarm. I've also revived an old clock radio (clock part formerly split-flap, now digital) to wake me up with music. For travel the smartphone does this and more.
