We also see thousands of other things everyday. You can't be curious about everything.
Analog clocks, roman numerals and Morse code are unnecessary in modern living for 99%+ people, just like it's unnecessary for them to know why the moon always faces the same way or how a car engine works or what technologies are used by their computer monitor. It's good to know these facts exist and that they can be learned, but that's about it.

- bgbntty2 10mo agoThat was my point, although I might've written it poorly. You can't go and learn everything. We're surrounded and bombarded by so much information, so many different things every day. Even very intelligent and curious people who read and learn all the time don't know everything. Just sitting at my desk I can probably think of 1000 things that pique my interest, but I don't try to learn about them because I know I have a very limited life on this planet. It's impossible to know everything, even to read all of Wikipedia.
- senordevnyc 10mo agoYou only learn about a tiny fraction of the things you see on a daily basis. Why? Is it because you're too lazy and stupid to learn about the others, as you seem to be implying throughout your comments here?
