My son-in-law’s niece could not tell time on an analog clock in 2010 when she was 15. We did not know this until one day we asked her what time it was and she did not know, even though she was in a room with several clocks, non digital..............

Study: 4-in-5 Oklahoma City students can’t read clocks

I really mess them up! My wrist watch is a 24 hour military or a Vintage RR watch, it's the same thing., hehehehehehe

and it's wind up, that confuses them even more.

They keep asking, where's the battery or where's the USP plug for the computer?

We learned to tell time in 1st grade in the 60’s...............

In fact, most Millenials and those who lean toward convenience (also known as laziness) do not own or wear watches. The reasoning is everyone has cellular phones, and nearly everything has a built-in digital clock.

We've gone full circle. In the old days, when you asked someone the time, he reached into his vest pocket, pulled out his watch and told you. Now they reach into their jeans pocket, press "start" and do the same thing. I'll stick with the convenience of a wristwatch even though I have "one of them thar new fangled gadgets".

As a sidebar, one wonders where these people would look when they hear any variation of "Bandits at 12 o'clock."

They even don’t know, “Get OFF YOUR 6!”

I am pretty sure I learned to tell time before 1st grade, around the same time that my parents taught me how to tie my shoes.

The next generation will not be able to read a clock or cursive writing.

All part of the plan.
Make the masses dumb, easy to control.

Just like during slavery, it was illegal to educate a slave................

I have 3 battery operated analog clocks in my house and they come in handy during a power outage.

[SandRat]

The “Vintage” Windup Clocks are even more handy, especially the Chime Clocks

Just like during slavery, it was illegal to educate a slave................

Nowadays, we inoculate them against learning, and convince them that the inoculation IS an education.

Slaveowners everywhere are taking note.

Two points:

A - They banned “One for my Baby” because of drunk drivers. Now it can’t make a comeback because no one understands “It’s quarter to three, there’s no one in the place ‘cept you and me.”

B - Try to teach the continuum to kids who don’t understand that time flows smoothly - not in 1 minute intervals.

I have a 24 hour binary clock in my study.

"Most people wear slip-on shoes,"? Who?

Nearly everyone I know wears laced shoes to work and laced sneakers to play. the only exceptions are some velcro stuff for the kids and ladies buckled shoes

I even got rudimentary set theory in 2nd grade math, as you said, in the 60’s.

[Red Badger]

3rd grade for me......................

Nowadays that’s college level.......................
