Accurate timekeeping is at the heart of so many of todays technologies from GPS to Cell Phones, music and video production, data encryption and a lot lot more. The clock I have at home is from 15-year-old cell phone technology and is accurate to one second in a couple hundred-thousand years. Bought it for $80 on eBay.
