EXAM hall clocks are going digital. Digital clocks are being displayed in GCSE exam halls because pupils struggle to tell the time on a traditional clock.
Educational leaders say digital smartphones are behind youngsters losing the skill.
Does this mean there will come a time when Big Ben goes digital? The famous clock has just been revamped - but what’s the point if future generations can’t read its face?
Church clocks too could go the same way.
Call me old-fashioned, but I like clocks and watches with hands and numbers.
