 So why do we need any kind of special clock? Why won't a normal clock do?
 Big surprise, but time is hard to keep. [Like really hard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_timekeeping_devices).
 Therefore, in a large distributed system (of possibly tens, or hundreds of machines), we really don't want to try and keep all clocks in sync.

+Given we are talking about computer systems, where events happen on the scale of milliseconds down to microseconds or less, makes precision especially important.
 So lets just abandon the concept of real time all together. What is we instead use *logical time*?
 
 *Logical Time* is a mechanism for determining the ordering of events, without the use of a real clock. So think of it more as a timer.
 For example, event 1 happens *before* event 2. Simple enough, right?

 This is an interesting concept, because by only adding some ever growing integer, we can determine some order to our events. This is going to grow into something far
