I’m surprised at just how many people I know who can’t read analog clocks. Even my brother can’t read analog clocks.

I remember in first grade they taught me that. They passed out worksheets with clock faces and we had to write the times they showed, or they would give the times and we’d have to draw the hands.

Perhaps analog clocks are a thing of the past, like calligraphy, scrimshaw, and AM radio.

But analog clocks are easy to read.
Hell, my dad has one that doesn’t even have the little marker for the minutes (Like the second minute, or third minute, and so on, except for the big ones, like 5, or 30.) and I can read it perfectly fine.

Of course I do, the only 3 digital clocks I have are on my laptop and my 2 mobile phones.

Knew to read that since I was like 4. I was just looking at it for hours with my confused face until my grandma told me the secret.

It seems that people younger than 18 can’t read analog nowadays. I also live in a country full of retards.

They aren’t a thing of the past because they aren’t obsolete. It’s just that in the case of a computer clock, it takes up less space.

I have a wall clock that isn’t digital and I prefer it. I prefer digital for any area where you have a more limited amount of space, like in your car, the computer, or on your microwave.

I can read one, it’s just that digital clocks are better.

Do you have a monocle and top hat too? And a British accent? That’d be so awesome.

Yeah, I only use a digital clock for my computer, because it takes up less space.
Then again, I don’t even use that besides once in a harvest moon.

Another pocket watch owner, I see. Good on you.

As for me, I have seen a few people that can’t read analog, but they’re few and far between. It’s phasing out like cursive did. How many of you can write effortlessly in cursive?

I can, though it doesn’t look very good but it’s because of my handwriting not because I suck at it.

Yes, I have no faith in my generation because of how stupid and digital they have to be.
