The first `consumer VCR' was put on the market by Sony in 1974. It was the Betamax and could only record one hour at a time. It also came with a clock that had a plug in the back for the VCR and it was used as a timer mechanism. You'd set the clock to `alarm' just like any other clock, but instead, it would turn on the power to the VCR, which would then start recording. (For what it's worth, I no longer have the VCR, but I still have the clock and I use it even today.)
Sony also invented the VHS format, but sold it to JVC because Sony didn't feel that the picture quality was good enough over all. That's also what killed the Betamax: recording time. VHS could do six or eight hours, depending on the tape and Sony couldn't do more than four and a half. Naturally, as it turns out, picture quality wasn't as important as recording time to the average consumer.
Of course, the later versions of the VHS machine had made several improvements which allowed for a half way decent picture in the extended mode.
Funny thing is, Sony had to license the rights back to make VHS recorders. Go figure.

after I arive at work and drive a company vehical , is that concidered a law that I'm on the clock .?
As soon as you clock on is when you are considered to be on the clock as long as thats when your shift has been assigned. So if you clocked on the time clock and began driving for the company then yes you are on the clock and should be compensated.
What is the difference between an internal and external clock?
AnswerThe internal is located inside your computer. If your running Windows, the time it keeps is display on the lower right side of the screen. An external clock is usually located on another system and can be accessed with software. You can get software to sync your internal clock to that other system. The National Institute for Science and Technology (NIST) hosts a clock that many computer users and businesses sync to.Wow...can that answer be any more wrong?Internal and External clocks are NOT referring to the "time of day" type clocks, they refer to the internal processor clock cycle or an external clock source. The clock cycle of a processor is the time it takes for the processor to execute a data instruction (very basic explanation there) and is measured as the speed of a processor, like a 2.6gHz processor can execute 2.6 billion clock cycles per second.Now this is somewhat misleading as the processor speed itself is probably only 400MHz, but using an External Multiplier (clock multiplier, external clock), you increase the total amount of data the processor can execute in one clock cycle.This is a VERY basic example and I don't have time to really go deep, so it's best to search for a more concise answer if you really require one.
