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 ... ๐Ÿ˜‰)
I can ready It but i get teens Who dont

They should just be taught how to read time in school

Shouldnt we blame the teachers for fsiling to teach kids how to read the clock?

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

Or the schools for removing the clocks, thus preventing anyone from practicing.

Brain rot is only a moral failing of the children. What more can the teachers and parents do?!

I'd like to see their faces when trying to read a binary clock.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Haha, good one.

oh look yet another warmed over "DAE the kids r bad" talking point that i've been hearing literally since i learned language.

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

If only they still taught how to read a sundial, but those damn new fangled analog clocks...

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (2 children)

So many edgelords in the comments shit talking younger generations for learning different things.
Y'all sound like old farts crying about how schools stopped using slide rules and how modern music just isn't as good.

No publisher, no byline, no way to know what the source of the claim is coming from.

But they did include a bit of meme art, so it seems indisputable.

I think keeping analog tech along side the digital equivalent is probably a good idea, just in case. Plus learning varied systems makes for more adaptable and smarter people.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There is some truth to that, but this doesn't seem like the thing to focus on, if that's the goal. Surely there is a better subject to fulfill those needs.

Like... If we all forgot how to keep time, and we had to invent a new system of time keeping... Surely we could do better than what we have now.

You sound like someone who doesn't know how to read an analoge clock.

I bet you could figure it out if you looked it up. And you would be better for it โค๏ธ

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Probably not. I can read an analogue clock and I am no better or worse for it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (3 children)

What? Of course you are better off for it. You know how to read time more than one way.
