Now that computers have more than 4MB of memory, can we get seconds on taskbar?

The real question should be why would someone want to have something changing every second in his peripheric vision?

I have seconds in my status bar. It isn't distracting at all. My brain filters it out just the same when I'm focused on other stuff open on my computer

Timing is important for some things, and seconds matter sometimes. The option would be nice.

Eh, it's not that bad. i3 does it every five seconds by default, along with other status information, but to me that bar is small enough to not draw my attention if I don't need it. Actually I even often miss when it changes the color of some text to notify me of a critical situation, eg available memory dropping below 500mb.
