Time is a resource which is constantly depleting, never to be replaced nor recycled. As such, it is of great importance to keep track of time. When man first came up with inventions to fulfill this need, clocks of all kinds were produced. As time progressed, pardon the pun, the popularity of mechanically-based clocks ebbed due to its lack of reliability to keep accurate measurement of time. As most of these types of clocks require rotating gears, swinging pendulums and other means, moving parts eventually bowed down to the principles of physics. As friction built up, these parts slowed down. Hence, the advent of quartz-based time-keeping devices was hailed as the great invention ever.
