Think about when the last time you used a wall clock or even a public clock pole/tower or something. My brain doesn’t even register them anymore, I just look at my phone and reset brain to whatever magic hand box says.

To think there used to be a time where you had to physically go outside and look at a clock tower if you wanted accurate ish local time

    Analog clocks are just a better analog for the passing of time.

    Cant argue with this.

    But

    what do these numbers mean?

    Is what i faintly ask myself when i do look at a analog clock.

    In digital, the numbers are just numbers, 9:42 is 9:42 while in analog 9 can mean 9 or 45.

    “It is almost a quarter before 10” is a sentence i would need to think twice to understand even when well pronounced from a vocal clear distance.

    Pretty sure it all depends on what your used to and dealing with a delay when facing the “other” formulation. No real winners.
