Not sure if true or clickbait, but if true it means we'll eventually lose clockwise and counter-clockwise as descriptive references.

It floors me just how many people in this thread feel like analog clock reading is a useless/outdated skill.
But I'm of the opinion that there's no such thing as a truly outdated and useless skill, so I'm not sure I have the capability to empathize with those people...
As a person who prefers analog clocks I disagree

It's not useless.
It's just less useful that other things that should be taught in school. There is only so much time in a school year, and it shouldn't replace those more useful things in the curriculum.
Yeah let's teach them about credit and healthcare
