Everyone who natively speaks English knows "clockwise" but so many native English speakers don't know how to read an analog clock. What if analog clocks completely disappear? Will "clockwise" stick around? If not, what will be the alternative? Perhaps "rightways" because clockwise goes right?

Inspired by a post i saw recently about analog clocks in schools
this isn't about what's on ur phone and if you don't have wall clocks or a watch its not for you either.

Art Nouveau Table Clock. German origin, dated around 1905–1910, designer/manufacturer unknown. Medium is brass that has been cast, pressed, patinated and mounted. Dimensions: h. 26 cm x w. 34 cm x 10 cm. From the Grassi Museum of Applied Arts (Leipzig, Germany), inventory number: 2004.35 ad.
“The surface of the brass table clock is almost entirely decorated with a flat relief. Curved band ornaments form a kind of frame for the round dial and the natural depiction of a nocturnal landscape. The figure of a bat, mystified as the messenger of the night in Art Nouveau, hovers in a prominent position above the clockwork.”
