    I think keeping analog tech along side the digital equivalent is probably a good idea, just in case. Plus learning varied systems makes for more adaptable and smarter people.

      There is some truth to that, but this doesn’t seem like the thing to focus on, if that’s the goal. Surely there is a better subject to fulfill those needs.

      Like… If we all forgot how to keep time, and we had to invent a new system of time keeping… Surely we could do better than what we have now.

        You sound like someone who doesn’t know how to read an analoge clock.

        I bet you could figure it out if you looked it up. And you would be better for it ❤️

          You sound like one of those edgelords who acts like grumpy old men who cry at young people for doing things differently.

          I bet you could stop talking and everyone would like you better ♥️

            Jokes on you, because just that you learned to read analogue clocks, makes your brain more plastic. I am sure you know what that word means, but for anyone else, plastic means adaptable. The more things you learn the easier it is to learn more things.

                Imagine life in the post-apocalyptic hellscape. All electronic devices have been rendered useless due to the EMPs from all the nuclear blasts. You, with your unfathomable ability to tell the time from an old wind-up clock, are viewed as a literal god among men (and women)
