Anyone who wants to understand how to read an analog clock can learn it in two minutes, it's not like you need to be taught in school. edit to add: My brother recently told me that he was at the library and his friend's teenage daughter looked at the analog clock and said indignantly "I can't read that!" So apparently it is true that people aren't learning simple skills like this.
Honest question; why would they? Digital clocks and watches are have been cheaper and more accurate (and as a result more ubiquitous) for many years now. I think there's a strong argument that analogue clocks are obsolete, and that's why teens and kids aren't learning to read them.
Back to kindergarten then.
Guys lets be honest why point at small Numbers which you have to read in a specific sequence while doing some math when you can easily and nowadays probably more efficiently (paper-ink) display them... Analog clocks are going to disappear and people will watch at them with the same eyes as we watch a sundial...(Btw I had to search for the translation of the world sundial that's how common it is ... 😉)
I can ready It but i get teens Who dont
As if they teach us how to read those clocks anyways
Pathetic.
It floors me just how many people in this thread feel like analog clock reading is a useless/outdated skill.
But I'm of the opinion that there's no such thing as a truly outdated and useless skill, so I'm not sure I have the capability to empathize with those people...
As a person who prefers analog clocks I disagree
What benefit does analog bring over digital other than nostalgia?
Once is objectively faster to read granularly, by the minute
