Since they didn't despite being taught, it means exactly this sweetie.

Forgetting things that don't matter much is a thing honey.

guess, you have never managed to learn the clock, have you

I've managed to learn both the clocks, just don't have a favorite one I want to defend at all costs, baby

Now read again. Slowly.

Perhaps you'd want to do that. Or do u lack reading comprehension?

[–] Karl@literature.cafe 5 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I can see why YOU are arguing clocks are too difficult

Never said that. I said they're harder to comprehend than digital ones. I do know how to read an analog clock. But it doesn't matter these days. Also, correcting spelling mistakes online is the corniest thing some1 can do.

People who are unable to understand analog clocks are also likely to not be able to understand any exams.

Nope. They don't doesn't mean they can't learn how to. They won't be able to understand exams only if they can't learn how to.

You're basically repeating all the points I've already addressed.

Because if they did, they would have done during lessons to learn it, sweetie

Thanks for calling me a sweetie. Love u too. Forgetting is a thing. Unlike previous generations they are not as much exposed to analog ones. Therefore they don't need to. Digital clocks are used in electronic devices etc.

They also know how to use calculator, they just don't knot 2 times 2 is four without it. Neither have place during an exam

Except basic math is necessary since the brain is faster with smaller calculations and analog clock really isn't that much necessary anymore. They can be replaced.

I guess spelling didn't matter to you either? 🙄

Pointing out spelling mistakes is lame af. Yup it totally doesnt. Who cares lmfao

Calculator is an alternative to the mental arithmetic sweetie

And there's no alternative which allows you to use it without any required prior knowledge on how to use it. And therefore we use the calculator as an alternative for larger calculations.

Yes we still want kids to know that 2 times 2 is four without using a calculator. Go figure why.

Because like I said, the mind is faster with smaller calculations. And, like I said, digital clocks are more convenient alternative to analog ones.

Now go to the first high street shop with watches and try again

Digital clocks exist there too

Calculator has replaced the need to add, multiply and divide, yet we still ask children to learn these skills.

Cuz the mind is quicker with smaller calculations than a calculator.

But analog clocks are harder to comprehend than digital ones

It would cuz there's no better alternative. But analog clocks do have an alternative ........ Digital clocks

who are too lazy or too stupid

They do know how to read the clock (digital ones :) ) Again, it doesn't make them idiots or lazy for not learning something they don't really need to learn

Intelligence is an ability to obtain knowledge and skills. If someone lacks both, it is a strong indication of them not having enough intelligence to obtain them.

What makes you think they don't have the ability to learn how to read analog clocks just because they don't? You might not know how ride a horse, but that doesn't mean you can't learn how to. Are you an idiot for not learning how to?

[–] Karl@literature.cafe 7 points 4 weeks ago (11 children)

Not the one widely used, but they do know how to use the clock. And they're not really that much more used than digital clocks. Therefore, it doesn't matter

[–] Karl@literature.cafe 6 points 4 weeks ago (55 children)

It's not really widely used anymore.

Alphabets can't be replaced by something easier and more convenient. But clocks can be
