Time Clock
The clock becomes important:

• People now lived their lives based on clock time and not by the rising or setting of the sun
• *Think of 5 places that demand you be on time

• No Safety Regulations – Machines injured workers
• No government program to provide aid in case of injury or unemployment
• Coal mines
