    Plenty of people older than Gen Alpha very much prefer digital clocks too. I can read analog clocks but it takes me several seconds to convert it to digital time (which is how my brain thinks). As far as I’m concerned, analog clocks are a relic of the past and it’s a good thing to abolish as many of them as possible.

      I’ve never liked them. It’s a design that’s like “give me a rough approximation of the time” vs. a digital clock that gives you the precise time. And, if all you want is a rough approximation of the time, a digital clock is still probably better because you just read the first few digits.
