1. An interactive device, comprising:

  • a communications module linkable to a corresponding communications module of a local, peer secondary interactive device;

    a memory for storing a set of clock values including a time component and a date component; and

    a computer processor connected to the communications module and the memory, the computer processor being programmed to actively maintain a real-time clock and calendar based upon the set of clock values stored in the memory;

    wherein the set of clock values stored in the memory are transferable by the communications module to a corresponding clock of the peer secondary interactive device upon a selective designation of a primary status based on an evaluation of recency of at least a one of updates to the set of clock values and confirmations of accuracy of the set of clock values against the peer secondary interactive device, and the set of clock values are stored in a corresponding memory of the peer interactive device.
