Digital does not mean Accurate

[ceagle]

One of the weirdest quandaries of our technological day and age is that we have little clocks on just about everything... our computers, cel phones, vcrs, etc.... but, they STILL don't each keep the same time! ;P
They used to say if it was "quartz", then it would be, but most aren't. My pager runs fast, and my car clock runs slow, etc etc etc.... why can't we come up with a cheap, ubiquitous, non-quartz circuit that will keep accurate digital time? 8|

Just the heat from your body is enough to make quartz wrist watches lose twice as much time, because you take it off and put it on.
