Interactive and Tells a Story.

I think an alarm clock is both interactive and tells a story.  An alarm clock is interactive because you can set it for a specific time and it will sound an alarm or turn the radio to wake someone up or tell them that it is the time that the person set it for.  It is interactive when a person sets it and wakes up to it, as well as interacting with the radio station it may be set to.  An alarm clock tells a story by the time that it is programmed to, telling us what time a person needs to be up or if they need to do something a t a specific time.  It also tells a story because each moment of time is a story in itself and continuously tells a story.
