hourglass not done
hourglass not done, 시간이 남은 모래시계
An hourglass is an old tool for measuring time. You can see the passage of time by watching the sand fall from top to bottom.
These days, it's more often used as a symbol of "waiting" or "in progress" rather than an actual timekeeping device. You can often see this shape on computers and smartphones.
모래시계는 시간을 재는 오래된 도구입니다. 위에서 아래로 떨어지는 모래를 보면서 시간이 흐르는 것을 알 수 있어요.
요즘은 실제로 시간을 재는 용도보다는 '기다림'이나 '진행 중'을 의미하는 상징으로 더 많이 사용됩니다. 컴퓨터나 스마트폰에서도 이 모양을 자주 볼 수 있어요.
The hourglass first came into use around the 8th century in Europe and was utilized in various fields such as navigation and cooking. Although digital clocks have replaced it in modern times, it is still recognized as a beautiful tool that visually represents the flow of time.
In modern culture, the hourglass is also used to symbolize the finiteness of life, such as with "YOLO" (You Only Live Once). On social media, it's frequently used as an icon to indicate "loading" or "processing," and it's also used as a representative image for meditation apps and timer apps.
