WHY ALARM CLOCK DESIGN SPEAKS ABOUT HUMANITY

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

The "snooze" feature in alarm clocks, introduced during the 1950s and 1960s, responded to people's need for more sleep due to longer work hours. It shows an evolution in alarm clock design to integrate with lifestyles. Today, smartphones and advanced alarm clock products like YouUp and Arlo incorporate social and AI technology, highlighting the ongoing relationship between humans and technology in creating personalized waking experiences.
