Tick tock (Not TikTok)

What’s something you believe everyone should know.

I believe everyone should know how to read an analog clock. In an age where digital devices tell us everything instantly, many young people have never learned to read a traditional clock face and that’s a shame. I always assumed everyone could read a clock, but I have since realised that many young people cannot. It’s such a simple skill, yet it connects us to the rhythm of time in a way that screens never can. There’s something satisfying about watching the hands move, a quiet reminder that time is always ticking on, even when we’re too busy scrolling to notice.

  3. I’m always amazed when I discover something I grew up with is now obsolete. Landline phones, analog clocks, and even basic handwriting skills.

    Are these skills that far out of date, or are we just getting old? 🙂

  5. Wow…. I had no idea…. The other day for the first time in ages I paid for something with cash. The poor lad behind the counter, his face drained of colour and he really struggled with it for a moment….. Amazing… Bless him

  8. Beautifully said. There’s a kind of poetry in watching those hands glide—each tiny movement holding its own quiet story. Maybe that’s what we lose a little with screens… the feel of time, not just its count. Reading an analog clock isn’t just about knowing the hour; it’s about sensing the passage. Your reflection makes me want to dust off the old wall clock and listen again to that steady tick that once shaped our days. ⏰✨

    Wrooki, your words and thoughts play an important role for the societal impact. Please don’t stop here, keep writing and enlightening others, your presence matters a lot to me.
    Cheers 💐💛💐
