These days everything have their online version and so does alarm clock. Online alarm clock is supposed to wake you up at your given time but they do have few major drawbacks which are:
- The sound level of these alarm clocks are capped at the limit of your device’s speaker level.
- Not easily as portable as an alarm clock is supposed to be.
- The device should be active all the time which introduces power issues and device heating problem.
That being said, let’s look at some of its benefits too.
- The obvious one, no need to buy a hardware alarm clock.
- Very high flexibility in choosing your own wake-up tones like custom mp3, radio station or Youtube videos.
So, comparing the drawbacks and benefits we can even conclude that it is always better to own a hardware alarm clock.
