I got a new analog clock for my kitchen since the old one I had for decades finally gave out. I grew up with these things, it wasn't until I was a bit older that digital came to dominate clockspace. Anyway I have a thing where like I'll look at the time on my phone, and then forget what time it is five mins later. Unlike if I look at a clock face I end up remembering and keeping track of the time.

yeah maybe because now digital clocks are everywhere and in your pocket. still it would take like ten minutes or so to teach someone how to read analog soooo idk
