Analogue clocks in schools are being eliminated...because kids can't read 'time'.
I pondered....what happened.
After I joined the Air Force, I sorta got into the 24-hour time business....so when you said 16:44....I knew immediately it was 4:44 PM. I even knew the 16:44 L (local time) versus 16:44 GMT (meaning hours ahead).
It wasn't rocket-science.
I stepped into a watch display area last year, and it's interesting how the bulk of watches (probably 60-percent) are still analog in terms of nature.
But if you look around at the 16-to-20 year old kids (male/female)....no one much is wearing a watch. If you asked for the time....they'd pull out the smart-phone and cite the digital time displayed.
This happening in one single generation? That's the odd thing.
