Today, I asked my daughter what time it was. She stared at the clock for several seconds before muttering, "I don't know". She's 14 years old and on the honour roll, and yet she can't tell the time on an analogue clock. FML

I know college kids who can't read a regular clock. It scares me that these people are the future of this world.

Eh, I can sympathize with your daughter. I couldn't understand how to read analogue clocks until like 3rd grade, for some reason. It doesn't make her stupid.

I'm 20 and I still struggle with analogue clocks sometimes. Doesn't mean I'm stupid.

This generation is going straight to hell. I am sadly part of this generation.

I figured out how to read an analog clock in 8th grade. For as long as I could remember, school was the only place that didn't have digital.

Well my mother taught me how to tell time, perhaps you could do the same?

She probably can't do basic math without a calculator too.

and yet you cant even spell analog you dumbass

105, Learn some culture, and stop parading your ignorance.

Check your on-line dictionary #105. 'Analogue' is also correct spelling. Now who's a dumbass?

For those of us that grew up with analog clocks, it seems easy. It would be difficult to switch to sundials. We forget how many things have changed. Some people today don't even know what an 8-track is. Don't be too hard on your daughter. She is a product of her times.

Thanks. I'm tired of people who think that this generation is terrible because we don't know exactly how a record player works. I don't NEED to know that unless I want to impress my grandparents, and they've been dead since I was 9!

ha my sister is 19 and she can only read the digital xD
