cobaltJust wondering, who keeps an analog clock out on display in your home? I am thinking the older one is, the more likely. Let’s see! Ok to share. #Clock #Time #Analog #Digital
Maria Langer | 📝🛥️💎@cobalt123 I have a humongous #clock over my sink and a similarly humongous one in my jewelry studio. The one over my pantry doorway is actually a moon phase clock, but the battery is dead. (I should fix that.) All my clocks are analog; I do not like digital clocks. My only exception is my watch and phone, and that's because I don't want to have to put on a pair of glasses to see the time.
@mlanger ha, TWO wall clocks in your kitchen! The one over your sink is just like ours but yours is black! I don’t like digital clocks. Drew used to have a digital alarm clock that had a timer to start up his favorite radio station when the alarm went off.
I saw that as he became more confused at times due to Alzheimer ‘s that he could read the time but not know what that meant. If I put up the large analog clock he could say “7 (fifteen)” or “quarter after 7”easier he still knew what it meant. Now he can’t read a clock at all unless it is exactly at the full hour mark like “7 o’ clock.
I can see why most quick 30 point tests for dementia have the well-known part where someone has to draw a clock and put all the numbers on it. They also earn a point for having the big hand and the little hand correctly. I bet this test has to substitute a new question about time, perhaps 5 years or so from now. It won’t be so universal about analog clocks.
@cobalt123 Back when I had a 9-5 job, I had a clock radio. That was digital. But it was also in the 1980s.🤣
I had a real shock one day when I was in a supermarket and the girl packing bags at the register asked the cashier what time it was. The cashier pointed to the clock that was hanging on the wall right by us. It was an analog clock and the girl couldn't read it. She was a teenager; no apparent cognitive issues. Just never learned to read a clock.🤯
