Do the digits on a watch tell me the time, but the electronics merely enable the digits... or does the watch tell me what time it is?

Does the watch manage your time, or does the watch enable you to manage your time?

Others in my office are nearing 15,000. Including sales orders and invoices, we've easily printed over 100,000 pages between five or six people.
