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

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.

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.
