“Do you know where the watch that has said Noemí is?” First it was to find it, then discuss its operation. The result of the dialogue of several of the young contestants of ‘Operation Triunfo’, confused before the operation of the needles of an analog clock, is a clip that has viralized on social networks, between comments of mockery, surprise and the classic regrets of reductionist opinions about a generation.
Minute and result. The conversation was starred in four – the average age is 20 years – and Diego’s Salma began, who asked where the clock was mentioned by Noemí Galera, the director of the Academy of Operation Triunfo. His question unleashed the laughs of others, which were added to the conversation and commented that they would have to pretend to understand the needle watch located on the dining room wall.
Only in this clip, of the Instagram profile of the content creator @alexinos, the video accumulates more than one million views. A wall clock appears with two hands and marks 10.35 in the morning. The next thing that is observed is Salma, 19, in front of the clock making calculations: “The little one is the one who marks the time and this is the one that marks the minutes. That is, it will be 10 because here is 11 and here is 12”. “How do you know that? I don’t know that, ”replied Olivia, also 19 years old.” It’s intuition, I have no idea, “Salma added.” You have to put numerites, “insisted a partner.” It takes a long time to know the time, “added another. To clarify the situation intervenes galley and point out:” Above is 12, 3, 6 and 9 “. The director of the Academy confessed that he was “flipping” and that he did not understand how they could not understand it.
But this is studied at school?! Answer: Yes. “Welcome to the results of the changes of law in education …” is one of the most prominent comments of the publication. But yes, the analog clock is part of the compulsory school curriculum in Spain in Primary, in the subject of mathematics ,. Specifically, in relation to “measurement processes through conventional instruments (rule, measured tape, scales, analog and digital clock)”.
The former contestant of Operation Triunfo Mario Jefferson (34 years old) was one of those who commented on networks the viral video: “I was dead and at the same time I felt a dinosaur.” But times change, OT It goes for its thirteenth edition (second in prime video), from those primary classes to today things have changed, some young people no longer live so with analog watches and usually check the time in their mobiles. Maybe they don’t even have a wall watch at home, so common before.
“Can young people read a clock?” It is a classic viral. Precisely in the space of Jimmy Kimmel, which is being talked so much these days, they left the streets six years ago to do the experiment to ask young people if they knew how to read an analog clock. It was a viral that then already generated a lot of conversation and that in Spain: most, no.
Humor and tutorials in Tiktok. This situation gives to regret and gives for humor, ironizing with the situation “when you wear a needle clock and you don’t know how to read the time.”
And who needs a review of what is forgotten at school has countless tutorials, in which comments show that there are younger ones such as those of Operation Triunfo.
