The 25 Greatest Gadgets Created By Black Inventors

11. America’s First Clock

Inventor: Benjamin Banneker
Year: 1753
If it weren’t for Banneker’s invention, we’d all have a limited sense of time. Though its concept has become the bane of our dreadful mornings, the introduction of the clock in North America set the mold for what would follow in co-ordinate time devices from your alarm clock to your G-Shock. Pay homage, youngins!
