Glad its not just me who's observed this. Its like people relying on satnav who wouldn't know how to get anywhere without it, let alone know how to read a map!  

And on the other side my dad can read a clock but cant use a smart phone to save his life.

I have had to teach someone at work how to tell the time from a watch with hands.  I do remember struggling with the concept when I was a kid and being taught it.

Watches with no numbers on them really confuses  them.

I read a clock and am a great map reader, but my smartphone is a mystery, but I have mastered the ipad, but I'm useless with technology

That was what started it, I had a watch with no numbers.  They were.  How do you tell the time with that?
