Using clock positions to provide physical direction like this is yet another relatively common application that we take for granted today, but may not be able to tomorrow. Teaching children to tell time without digital clocks provides benefits above and beyond the preservation of some of our existing terminology. Properly presented, telling time can help children understand other concepts that are part of the educational curriculum. To understand this, consider what it is about telling time that can be confusing to children in the first place. As they say, with every problem there is opportunity.
Science is another area where telling time can meet education.
The Earth spins in a clockwise direction on its axis. As discussed above, we are faced with potential obsolescence of clock-based terminology we use today. This will impact those who do understand the terminology, if a significant portion of the population becomes unfamiliar with that terminology. Given that there are always those who look for any way to rub your nose in something , it wouldn't be a big surprise. Inc. All rights reserved.
