   Pretty sad that in my (relatively short so far) lifetime, public places went from having clocks everywhere to almost none at all. Train stations, airports, restaurants, theaters, plazas, etc…

     @aeveltstra I do, out of my view most of the time, which doesn’t make it suitable for such a trivial action to check the time. 😕

     @hypolite Why sad? Doesn't everyone carry around a multifunctional communicator that at the very least displays current time?

     @clacke Funny thing is, when there were clocks everywhere, I had a wristwatch. After I got my first handheld phone, I dropped it, but I didn’t realize the omnipresence of public clocks made this change seamless. Now I almost systematically have to pull my phone from my pants’ pocket just to check the time which has become a significant, even if trivial, bother.
