Boring Tuesdays: A digital clock

This post is part of our Boring series, where one Tuesdays we sometimes post analyses on signs we did not find particularly interesting. The idea is to offset personal biases.

Here we have an image I took of my night stand clock. A clock is a very time-dependent sign that usually uses symbols (e.g. numbers) to index the current moment.

In my personal context this particular clock also signaled that I should have been already asleep a long time ago instead of photographing a clock.
