USB Port Timepieces

Charge Your Phone and Know the Time with the LED Alarm Clock

— August 19, 2013 — Tech
This LED alarm clock brings back the need for the almost extinct time teller.

In the age of technology, people are opting to remove alarm clocks from their homes. When cell phones first became a must-have item, the alarm app wasn't a feature. People relied solely on their handy clocks to get them up on time. While people can now set an alarm on their phones, this wasn't the only reason for its disappearance. Now, younger kids are acquiring cell phones and rely solely on these gadgets to wake up. To stay relevant, this LED clock was designed with a USB port, so you can charge your phone right next to your bed.

This product was designed to remind people that a quick glance at a bright LED alarm clock is much easier than reaching for your phone to check the time.
