This is, sadly, not a joke.
Schools are removing analogue clocks from exam halls as teenagers 'cannot tell the time' https://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/2018/04/24/schools-removing-analogue-clocks-exam-halls-teenagers-unable/[sarcasm on]
This is serious. Can you imagine a PAW (Post Apocalyptic World) in which today's generation are trying to make a digital time display using a water powered clock mechanism?
They will start small, with a 12 hour sized bucket which flips up a sign that shows a Sun image or a Moon Image.
As the technology revolves, they will add more, smaller buckets which flip the signs which say "Morning, "Afternoon", "Night", "PreDawn".
Finally, some genius will build a clock the size of a small house which has enough water buckets to flip signs on the hour: "1", "2" - "12". People will travel from miles away to learn the correct time of day.
About that time, they will have starved to death because nobody was working in the garden.
Don't laugh too loudly, you might trigger a "Snowflake" into tears. Remember, the young are our future!
