I can even find the North using analog clock and the sun (provided it's sunny day, of course), born in 1990.
Anyone who doesn't use the 24 hour system is either uneducated or ignorant. The AM/PM system is so archaic and outdated, it should be unacceptable in 2017.
I'm pretty sure it's still part of the maths syllabus in the UK. The exam boards usually have questions which show two clocks at different times and ask how much times has passed etc.
Also analog clocks are still pretty relevant, from places to like kitchens to land marks such as Big Ben. It's not like it's a dying thing.
I'm glad i grew in between both generations. I know all that old timer shit and new gen shit. Millennials ftw.
Am and Pm confused me a great deal when taught in english class. Which "m" stood for midday and midnight in after and past "m" ugh, I'd always forget or mix them up. Struggle long enough and you eventually learn, though counting 24 hours instead of 12 hours twice, is so much simpler with no room for confusion or danger of a mix-up happening.
If you knew the candle was fire then the meal was cooked a long time ago.
I don't think this generalization could be further from the truth. It isn't generational, it's all about how you were raised. Maybe most of the millennials you know were just raised by shit parents or come from garbage families?
I'm 34 so technically fall into the "millennial" group by about 1-2 years. I've had a job since I was ten working at least 20 hours a week and being paid under the table until I was old enough to work legally. Once I was old enough to work legally, I worked at least 30hrs a week as well as being a student. Also during this time I had chores including but not limited to setting and clearing the dinner table each night, cutting the grass on our 1.5 acre yard weekly as well as raking weekly during the fall. We also had a 1/2 acre garden which my brother and I were responsible for weeding, watering and harvesting. Also we made weekly garbage runs to the local landfill. And I went to school out of district so getting to and from school was an hour drive each way.
My first truck was an '89 checy s10 which I did all mechanical work on myself with guidance from a Hayes automotive book. I changed the oil regularly, changed all my own belts, brakes, switched out clutches, master cylinders, slave cylinders, etc. Once I even found out the hard way that a hole had rusted clear through the head gasket because when I flushed my radiator, it removed the rust and flooded my engine with the entire contents of my radiator. I had to remove my engine, clean out the entirety of it, replace the push rods, risers, head gasket and reassemble my engine.
And I know a lot of millennials who are very hard workers and very successful. I also know people in their 40s-50s who stay unemployed, live with their elderly parents, make their money via stealing and pawning other peoples shit, etc. Laziness and stupidity isn't generational, people of all ages will get away with what society and their families will let them get away with.
From what I can see the younger generation still has trouble pulling their pants up.
Why wouldn't they? There are analog clocks everywhere.
Most watches are still analog, clock towers in cities are too, clocks at public transport stations etc.
And digital clocks have been around since the 1980's or something, right? Maybe even before that?
lmao this thread is more of a case of "american education" rather than anything regarding millennials
holy shit like not knowing what quarter to or half past means ahhahaha im dying over here
