CBS News poll: Are analog clocks on the way out?

Despite an increasingly digital world, old fashioned analog clocks — the kinds with moving hands — can still be found in most American households in 2021, if not in great numbers. Seven in 10 Americans have at least one analog clock in their home, but fewer than half have two, and just one in five have three or more clocks in their home.

Still, analog clocks may be going out of style with younger adults. Nearly half of those under 35 don't have one, and a third of Americans between 35 and 44 also don't have an analog clock in their home either.   

Nevertheless, most Americans think children should still know how to read them. Three in four think children should still be taught in school how to tell time with an analog clock — including most Americans who don't have an analog clock in their home themselves. A quarter think their time would be better spent learning other things.
