What Do We Need to Know About Yesterday's Technology?

[Aoi Magi]

I still remember when they showed the video on how clocks worked back in school, it was so cool to see and understand how all those parts came together to form a mechanical watch. Yes digital watches are gaining ground and for a good reason, they are more intuitive, but the old face watches are not dead, they too exist in the digital form, like when I expand the digital-watch on my laptop or smartphone, they will still show a beautiful face watch. The app-stores are flooded with analogue-clock apps...

In near future though we really might not have face watches anymore though, and if that happens, the associated terminologies will disappear as well, we don't have to make conscious choice in the matter.
