Analog clocks
There was a discussion on WKDD this morning about people not being able to read analog clocks. Verily, this is a statement on the sadness of bad educational guidelines. How are children getting out of first and second grade that cannot look at a clock and tell the time? Have we become this dependent on digital clocks that we have become stupid?
Your comments are most welcome!!!
I have always said that in the future, those who understand how information flows through cyberspace will be those with the true power. Of course, I mean this as a 50-60 year from now timeframe. However, as coders get lazier and used to higher-level languages and frameworks (.NET anyone?), they will soon lose sight of the mystical black magic stuff like Ring 0 (OS kernel-mode) and driver development. It scares the hell out of me that the first steps are already here.

people are getting so lazy with their learning and info... and their kids are NOT coming out any better.... I was at fireworks on the 4th, and there was a group of middle schoolers there that made me want to go on a rampage.... I told my mom that if I get stuck teaching in a middle school once I'm licensed, someones gonna die... lol

Amen to that, sister!
It's sad to me how people are just getting more and more lazy, and more willing to be ignorant. I'm not sure how we got on this road, but (as Cypher said in The Matrix) it scares the bejeezus out of me.
