    This leads to an interesting question: could one understand a digital clock without any conception of an analog clockface?

      Isn't a digital clock just a numeric-only representation of the physical clock-face? Can the two be separated conceptually or not?

        Or is it just that my subjective perception of time is so closely tied to the analog clock-face that I can't conceive of time otherwise?
