My son-in-law’s then 15 yo niece from Ohio, came to visit them one summer a couple of years ago. She could not tell time on an analog clock.............
I hear you. Our neighbor used to be a teacher. One of the students asked her hat time it was, and she pointed to the clock behind her. The kid had no clue what the time was on the clock.
As and English and drama teacher, she took enough time to teach the class how to tell time on an analog clock. Many former students still email her to tell her how much they appreciate here instruction.
I doubt she could shoe a horse or castrate a pig either. Things change, you either change with them or not, whatever makes you happier I guess.
About 95% of the things that have changed in my lifetime, that personally affect me, I don't like, but life goes on.
I do have some control over what I purchase, so I buy things I need or things I just want to have. Although I have in the past purchase a few Windows machines I never really desired one, all my Apple computers are things that I wanted, even back in the old days when Apple was lost in the wilderness.
I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Mac just to remind me why I really don't want a windows machine. I am way to old to change my mind, although I have been toying with the idea of a NUC so I can run HDHomerun and replace my EyeTV. Plus the Chrome DVR feature from Chrome cast looks cool.
