Today, I don’t think they even sell face clocks anymore, yet clockwise/counterclockwise remains a part of our culture. Even my image editor lets me choose between rotating an image clockwise or counterclockwise. Is it retro to hold on to those designations, or is it an important tradition that we should pass on to our children?
My parents didn't want me to have a digital watch until I learned the regular one. And they made me learn telling the time in the 12hr format before the 24hr format (it's a language thing, doesn't have an equivalent in English)
But that wasn't in the 80s
