    Except we very much still use analogue clocks. They’re everywhere. Being able to read a clock when your cell phone isn’t handy is still a useful skill. And it’s not like it’s that hard to learn to read one. If you can’t figure out an analogue clock with a few minutes of instruction, well, you’ve got bigger issues.

      Quick question: How much time have you spent the last 48 hours with no digital clock in reach?

      Who still uses analogue clocks? I haven’t seen one in ages other than on watches.
