OnlineClock.net Strikes with The Barcode Alarm Clock

April 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Berlin, Germany,  -- Online Clock strikes yet again, with the release of a brand new web-browser based Bar Code Alarm Clock. Vast numbers of people seem to hate barcodes--those omnipresent black and white zebra stripes that seem to reduce everything to a computerized item in a stock room. However, OnlineClock.net has succeeded in turning the lowly barcode into a fully functioning and fanciful internet alarm clock that anyone can use on a computer without downloading or installing any software.

The Barcode Alarm Clock is a simple yet effective online alarm clock that displays the current time using the black and white stripes familiar to all of us from the barcodes on commercial products in stores the world over.

Barcodes: symbols of modern consumerist society. Are we all nothing more than cogs in the great commercial machine? Are we all nothing more than a series of black and white stripes and cryptic numbers that can be used to track our every movement and action?

These are some of the questions that the new Barcode Alarm Clock seems to be asking, in its ironic look at the commercialization and categorization of just about anything and everything in modern society. With the release of its new Barcode Alarm Clock, OnlineClock.net seems to be giving us all an ironic wink of the eye and saying that, "Yes, we are all part of this Great Consumer Machine...but so what - let's just have fun with it."

When interviewed about his motivations for creating the Barcode Alarm Clock, OnlineClock.net creator Tom Churm, replied, "Well, yes, it is meant in part to be a satirical look at society. Many of us seem to loath the kind of departmentalized efficiency which barcodes represent, where everything becomes another product, waiting to be bought and sold. On the other hand, however, barcodes simply look really cool, and we thought that they'd make for a novel and interesting kind of online alarm clock."

Since going live over four years ago, Online Clock has released new online-based time gadgets at a steady pace. Surely this is one of the reasons contributing to its great success: with almost two million unique visitors each month, OnlineClock.net has truly become the world's number one website for Online Alarm Clocks and time-related web tools.

The Barcode Alarm Clock represents the first new Online Clock released by OnlineClock.net in 2010.

When asked regarding how many more new clocks are are planned for this year, OnlineClock.net's Tom Churm cagily replied by saying, "Sorry, that must remain our company secret. Suffice it to say that OnlineClock's development team is constantly working on fresh new ideas for more online-based time tools that will be useful for our visitors...and we do indeed have quite a few more surprises up our sleeves."

Other recent creations on the Online Clock website include a Video Alarm Clock and a web-based version of a Clock Radio that you can use in your web browser.
