Clock error?

[Moneo]

The whole time zone thing needs a change. It needs to be broken up into equal slices, not the garbage we have now..

Yeah, I agree. Why couldn't the whole world be on the same time? Does it matter that much whether it's not 12:00 noon when the sun is overhead? Suppose where you live that the sun was overhead at 4pm or 7am, would it really matter?

If we were all on the same time, instead of asking someone on the phone: "What time is it over there?", you might ask: "What time is sunset over there? Given this same time, when you took a plane trip somewhere and your plane leaves at 9am and arrives at 5pm, then you would know that the flight takes 8 hours.

Whereas now you have to figure out what the arrival time of 5pm means to you, meaning that you have to know what timezone you are arriving into, as well as whether they are on daylight savings time, and adjust the time relative to yours so that you can figure out how long the flight is. Stupid isn't it?

When you get to your destination, instead of asking what time it is in order to reset your watch, you would need to ask what time dawn or sunset is, in order to adjust your sleeping and eating times, which you still have to do now anyway.

When you decide to call home, instead of figuring out what time it is at home, just look at your good old watch. For example, if it's 2pm, you need to know that people at home don't get up until 4 or 5pm.

Any comments?
