This is rather embarrassing but I need to ask it. Sometimes I wake up and don’t know what time it is and I’ll look at my smartphone and it will say , for example , 9:00. Ok? 9:00 AMor 9:00 PM? I then look around for context clues as to whether it is indeed 9:00 in the morning or if I somehow took a nap and then woke up and its evening. My SMARTPHONE will not tell me the basic thing I want to know as to what time it is I feel completely inept if I ask someone the time and they respond with “the time ? Oh, its 8:35”. 8:35 WHAT? 8:35in the morning or 8:35 in the evening? I want to know this NOW and I feel like I can’t ask a human without risking sounding like Rip Van Wrinkle and my smartphone will not give me an immediate one click answer!
