Well - We all do, sooner or later... On a similar note, my 17 yr. niece called me yesterday to ask me about timing something in the oven. She only had an analog clock and didn't know how to read it. I was shocked and befuddled. I then realized that she has been living with "digital" time since she was born. Do they teach kids about "analog" time anymore?!
