I recently posted about my grandfathers watch, which was made in 1938. It is an mechanical watch and must be wound every morning. Only a few old people nostalgically use a mechanical watch like this any longer.
Now watches have morphed into wearable technology.
I found it interesting that a friend of mine said his grandson, in highs school, did not know how to read an analog type watch display.

I have several watches. I refuse to wear digital. Of course, even analog ones have advanced beyond the wind up era by using batteries and I am glad. I recall trying to keep up with winding the damn things constantly to keep them from stopping.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've heard that some (most?) young people can't read analog clocks any more. I remember very well being taught how to "tell time" in Grade One by the teacher.
