    Broken clock is right twice a day, but there’s a reason we don’t use them to tell time shrug-outta-hecks

        I mean, they’re used everywhere still and aren’t exactly a dated form of timekeeping or anything even if digital clocks are preferred on computers

          The newer generation might not know how to read them.

            Could it be, that they are in school to learn stuff?

                Analogue clocks are a much better tool to visualise time than digital. There’s only advantages in learning to read them.

                  I was just speculating whether that will be taught in the future. Kudos

                  Since you said mate, I assume you don’t live in America. Some of these kids can’t even read. I asked the teachers.

                    You are right I’m not from the States. However, my rather quick and shallow search has shown me that in the USA too, it should be taught in first year math classes how to draw and read analog clocks and in second year the concept of 24 hour days, AM and PM should be taught.
