Isn't this more of a gen alpha thing?
Zoomers are already like 20 or so.
I will say that I have heard ridiculous stories about schools nowadays.
Kids reaching middle school who can barely read and are unable to do basic math.
like here, there's been a lot of concerns about the International scores on all sorts of things. But in most classes that I heard of, there's no such thing as illiteracy.

>>1165790i'd argue that it's mostly an aesthetic choice nowadays. and for our generation and older who do know how to use it consistently, it's just common sense. so i don't doubt why it's in those formats
but if younger generations are not using them anymore cause they have a method that's easier for them to digest, it kinda makes the analogue clock the cursive of time.

Remember when the very first smartphones came out? The symbols for various apps like YouTube, Podcasts, etc were not just the company logos. They were actual picture of old TVs or Radios.
This was done on purpose to easily communicate to older user not intimately familiar with the relatively-new software what each app's primary function was.
Now, digital clocks have been a thing for a VERY long time, and we even adress hours in those numbers anyway.
I don't think analog clocks are obsolete exactly, and not knowing them could spell trouble if you go somewhere they are still widely used later and literally can't read them, but I also don't think it's the end of the word of a measure of time we say out loud in numbers anyway is actually portrayed in easy to read numbers.

Technically there are tools that dictate text for you and there's tools that allow you to dictate stuff for the machine to react to.
So maybe we can just skip learning to read or write as well.

To be really honest, I'm scared of how boomers obsessively love burning coal and keeping factories that pump out toxic waste open. And all of those other forms of dangerously obsolete technology that people over the age of 40 love to pieces. While I've a lot of anxiety about Zoomers and the Alpha types as well, that's not as much of an issue to me at all. We need more progress. More science. More technology. And faster.

Eh, not like we were that much different at that age. Youth is a hell of a drug! Not like being able to tell analogue clock time is necessary. Kindof like writing in cursive or knowing how to use a rotary phone. I know how to do all these things, but that knowledge is just trivia now, a curiosity. It's not relevant, and that's ok. The world keeps moving. Keep the rich in line and give people space to breath and think and feel and we'll be ok.

Like you don't need to be able to read analogue clocks to get through life. Look at your phone. There's a digital clock in your pocket at basically any time.
It literally doesn't matter.

>>1166021Since it's a hogwash sensationalist story, it's a mmot point, but suppose it wasn't...
Around here, learning to read analog / digital clocks is still one of the first things kids are taught in elementary school.
So it may be a question whether kids still need to be taught this in elementary school.
But even then, reading an analogue clock isn't rocket science. There's 12 numbers on the clock corresponding to the hours we speak aloud in the day. So with the small dial you can guess about what hour it is with basic logic. And while the big dial is a bit more difficult (the numbers technically need to be multiplied by 5), it is not hard to estimate where half / quarter past or before is situated and you don't need to know more than that.
To me, it wouldn't be about whether or not old technology is still relevant, it's about expecting some basic logical reasoning for kids.
And if we're going to shrug and say, who needs logic reasoning anyway, that's a worry for me.

It kills me as an American especially because there's no chance in hell either our current President or our last one could have something like the nuanced historical conversation that I'm linking here on YouTube, yet the British seem to just assume a nation's leader is naturally as a matter of basic standards as reflective and thoughtful as, say, Patrick Stewart commanding a starship.
I'm not going to blame him over Brexit because I think the U.K. very obviously as an entity should've never existed since ethically England, Wales, Scotland, and a united Ireland should all exist as separate nations with the monarchy long abolished, but this is a separate discussion and most of the British as people don't seem to have evolved enough yet even though I'm kind of glad about Brexit as a U.K.-killer... so... eh...

Also he loves Margaret Thatcher. And that's the biggest and reddest flag in British politics bar none.
>I'm not going to blame him over Brexit because I think the U.K. very obviously as an entity should've never existedEngland, Wales and Scotland united because they had the same monarch about 300 years ago. That seems like as good a reason for it to exist as any, at least to me and at least at the time.
>since ethically England, Wales, Scotland, and a united Ireland should all exist as separate nationsBrexit wasn't about that. It was about the United Kingdom being in the European Union.
Also Scotland shouldn't be independent because I want to spite Nicola Sturgeon for whining about it constantly for a decade and then getting caught for financial irregularities or whatever she got caught for. Wales and Ireland can be though. Especially Wales.
