Android

Now one of the most used technology companies is Apple's competitor. Ever since 2008, this company now owned by Google was made about one year since the release of the original iPhone. Its first phone was the T-mobile G1, as it sparked a ton of other companies. Some of these companies are Samsung, Kyocera, Google's Pixel lineup, Huawei, Motorola, Oppo, HTC, and a ton of others. By today's standards, I would recommend getting the Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20 Ultra, with their amazing displays and the Ultras whopping 108 Mpx camera.

I've kept my Android phone for many years.

iPad

A device made by Apple computers on April 13, 2010. It is sort of a much better successor to Apple's MessagePad in 1993. Its form factor is a tablet, and tablets are sort of like a much bigger, functional phone. It's newest current model today (in 2020) is the iPad pro.

Person 1: Have you seen the new iPad?

Person 2: Sure have, but it's overpriced.

Clock

A typically circular device used to tell the time. It uses three sticks or "hands" that point to numbers and lines that were printed out on a layer of typically painted cardboard attached to the back. This uses about three of these "hands", one the thickest and shortest, (known as the HOUR hand), another that is slightly taller and thinner than the hour hand, (also the MINUTE hand), and the thinnest and longest one, (the SECOND hand). The hour-hand moves across each number or line each HOUR, the minute-hand each MINUTE, and the second-hand each SECOND. These are usually run by batteries nowadays, where the battery turns a series of gears to keep the clock going. Sometimes the clock displays the time directly, on a screen, these are known as digital clocks. You can find something similar displayed on your phone. But some are run by Pendulums! That's pretty cool. These come in many form-factors, too. These are useful machines with good purpose.

Person 1: How do I know when 8:00 comes?

Person 2: Simple, just look at the wall clock.
