Answer: Reading a clock

Clues: “Time” and “Device”

A study found most people under 30 can’t look at an old-school clock and tell what time it is right away.  It takes a few seconds.  We’re talking about the kind with hour and minute hands.

95% of Boomers and over 80% of Gen X’ers can look at one and “instantly” know what time it is.  But barely more than half of Millennials can.  And by the time you get to Gen Z, only 43% can look at a clock and know.

Obviously, most Gen Z’ers just check the time on their phone now.  But other types of clocks aren’t going away completely.

56% of Americans still own an alarm clock, 54% have a wall clock, 33% have a smart watch, 11% have a “free-standing” or grandfather clock and 7% of us own a pocket watch.
