Sure, but why would I look down, when there is a clock in every direction I look at. I wristwatch would also be analog again.

> My last 7+ exams were all done on a computer. That clock was a lot closer than any that happen to be on a wall.

I have no clue how your university does prevent cheating, but ok. Here any kind of network-connected(/connectable) device is forbidden. And then there is math, where the only thing you are allowed to have is a pen and the formulary (and maybe a ruler).

This does not reflect my life. Clocks are out there, but not to the point of there being one a just turn of the head away no matter where I am. My phone is the closest device with an accurate sense of time the vast majority of the time.

> wristwatch would also be analog again.

Smart watches exist. Digital wrist watches also exist, but seem to have gone out of fashion.

By not having shit exams. Most (all?) of mine were open-book. I didn't take maths in uni, but they're also done digitally, although I don't think they're open-book. There you probably only get the formulary.

That part was specifically about train stations and classrooms.

We also now have mostly open-book exams, the rule to be allowed to use everything, that does not do network calls is the rule for open-book exams. Personally I don't like when exams need to be done on a computer, there is always something that breaks and now you are personally responsible for it. With pen and paper you have peace of mind, the only thing is that you need to have a working pen and even that can be borrowed in an emergency.

Depending on where I'm standing inside a train station, I'll be much more likely to see a digital sign saying when the next one arrived in minutes rather than a clock (a fair amount do have clocks, but they all have digital signs that give you what you actually want more quickly anyway, while being a whole lot more visible). If I'm at a tram or a metro stop, I'll definitely have the sign, but probably no clock.

I've had a computer and thus a digital clock in front of me in class since high school.
