I have recently noticed that wherever I go, everything is digital. I wonder what happened to the old big hand and little hand clocks. They were everywhere when I was younger. Now all the schools, businesses and airports have these ugly digital things blinking away. I don’t think they are bad. I simply think they are less than art inspired.

Those big clocks had the big and little hands in so many different combinations were always so beautiful. They could be made in many different styles and some didn’t even have numbers. If you knew how to tell time, you could tell what time it was. Now these digital clocks make telling time much easier. But it’s not like that was much of chore in the first place.

In my opinion, the removing of these large pieces of art in favor of the easier clocks is just another sign of the dumbing down of America. Some of the kids these days have no concept of phrases like quarter past or till. They don’t understand these phrases because they don’t understand how a real clock actually works and some have no idea how to tell time with them!
