You can design a digital readout to intuitively provide the same. And I think you're overstating the importance of rate of change in analog guages that you find in commuter cars.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
