My son-in-law’s niece could not tell time on an analog clock in 2010 when she was 15. We did not know this until one day we asked her what time it was and she did not know, even though she was in a room with several clocks, non digital..............

I really mess them up! My wrist watch is a 24 hour military or a Vintage RR watch, it's the same thing., hehehehehehe

and it's wind up, that confuses them even more.

They keep asking, where's the battery or where's the USP plug for the computer?

In fact, most Millenials and those who lean toward convenience (also known as laziness) do not own or wear watches. The reasoning is everyone has cellular phones, and nearly everything has a built-in digital clock.

We've gone full circle. In the old days, when you asked someone the time, he reached into his vest pocket, pulled out his watch and told you. Now they reach into their jeans pocket, press "start" and do the same thing. I'll stick with the convenience of a wristwatch even though I have "one of them thar new fangled gadgets".

As a sidebar, one wonders where these people would look when they hear any variation of "Bandits at 12 o'clock."

I have 3 battery operated analog clocks in my house and they come in handy during a power outage.

"Most people wear slip-on shoes,"? Who?

Nearly everyone I know wears laced shoes to work and laced sneakers to play. the only exceptions are some velcro stuff for the kids and ladies buckled shoes
