Who need analog clocks?? Want the time use digital! Digital is to little use Millitary time? Millitary time is to small? Use UNIX TIME
The only thing i really use thats a dial/analog is calipers and micrometers.
Its like veirneer calipers, there just time consuming and inefficient to modern offerings
it's now 18:53, and while I respect that it seems nonsensical when parsed as a number, I find 1853 more convenient to write on mobile (and it does save two keystrokes on keyboard too).
Miss me with that "1-1=12" shit.
Question one for Advanced Algebra

No one knows how to read a sextant any more. The horror!!
Analog clocks are not really essential technology.
Ok but there are still many places with analog clocks, learning how they work shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

Pathetic.
Recommend we call Clockwise "cap" and Counterclockwise "no cap"
That works for "righty tighty, lefty loosey" as well
There's probably someplace kids could go to learn about analog clocks...

My first thought was to be appalled at the lack of education on display.... But is there any real reason to keep analog clocks.. other than habit and nostalgia?
