When I look at a digital clock I always convert it to analogue in my head. Guess I’m that old.
Analog clocks are like cursive, there isn't any real world benefit so it seems like we should spend that effort on one of the many other things that schools could teach.

Pathetic.
Anyone who wants to understand how to read an analog clock can learn it in two minutes, it's not like you need to be taught in school. edit to add: My brother recently told me that he was at the library and his friend's teenage daughter looked at the analog clock and said indignantly "I can't read that!" So apparently it is true that people aren't learning simple skills like this.
Are all public clocks in the US digital clocks? Off the top of my head, I can tell you 4 locations within walking distance that have analog clocks, one of them being the train station.
