I was born in the mid 80s, enjoyed the internet from 95-2005ish and then thought there was a decline. Seems like there is a pattern here...

Some clocks also update over radio. Oregon Scientific used to make the best bedside atomic clock ever. Super simple, with the projector, was an atomic clock that updated automatically via radio and had a pleasant, crescendo alarm that would start off nice and get more aggressive. They don't make it anymore :/

And to go with that, if you ever want people to like you, just ask questions about themselves. People have a tendency to like talking about themselves.
