I haven't used a clock in years that I need to manually reset. Older people don't seem to realize clocks on phones and other devices reset automatically.

    I remember a few years ago there was some super popular brand of smoker (like to cook food) that had an internet connection. On Thanksgiving Day they pushed out a software update that made the smoker unsuable to several hours. I saw tons of posts of people who were planning to cook their Thanksgiving turkey in their smoker but couldn't use it because it was undergoing a system update.

    "Kids these days..."

    The clocks built into appliances aren't generally being relied upon to wake people up for work or school or whatever else is time sensitive, so it's not particularly important that people be reminded to change them when the time change occurs. Phone clock updates automatically, and that's the alarm for the overwhelming majority of people young enough to not be living in assisted care.
