Thanks for expounding upon that. It's shit like this that gets spread around and older gens pat themselves on the back while shaking their head at the younger gen for not knowing something, despite it being taken out of context or even straight up false.

To be honest, even if it were completely true... okay? If analogue clocks are on the way out then there's no particular need for anyone to be able to read them any more. I like them a lot visually and have a couple in my home, but there's nothing so special about them that people would be missing out by using digital clocks instead

With all due respect this is literally just a guy saying that he's personally better at reading analogue clocks than digital ones for 18 minutes

I mean that's kind of the point, right? They convey the information in a different way that's easy to understand for some people which seems pretty relevant since conveying information is the only function of a clock. Probably the ideal solution would be to just have both in classrooms

I immediately thought of Technology connections based on that description. I didn't even remember he did a video on clocks.

yeah I mean I don't know how to use a slide rule but my older brother learned on it a bit. OMG Xers don't know how to use slide rules and are dependent on elctronic calculators.
