People can all relate to their cellphones.

Just tell them that the cellphones all yell at each other but not at the same time so as long as you know when to listen you can hear the other end.  :-)

Hi All,

Thanks Jim P for the thread.  

I was lurking hoping for some amazing idea that would help me explain (in simple and interesting terms) what I do, firstly you need to know my company is the local rep for Symmetricom in Australia.

So when asked what I do for a living, you should see the eyes glaze over; so normally easier to just say no you first!

I thought this thread was going to be my saviour! Sadly not to be.  lol



Chris

So when a member of the general public says:
Why do we need really accurate clocks?
What is your answer?
The alternative is inaccurate clocks, would that ever be preferable?
