Hi, I've been under the radar for a while so have not been able to keep up with the threads I was contributing to but that has been done to death and I will drop them. I've been very interested in reading peoplels thoughts on time-zones. Has there been any moves to adopt a common time for all countries in the world so as to alleviate the difficulties in dealing with time-zones?" I know there was the idea of Internet-time going around some time ago but I think that seems to have died a death. Thinking about it, what's the problem of adapting to daily life which is shifted by some number of hours off the clock. If we all used UTC everyone around the world would know when a certain time was in their own day. In my case for New Zealand, +12 hours would probably be adopted for the country, so AM becomes PM and I'd get up at 7PM (still that's not much different from now :) instead of AM.
I guess the question is, what's the likely-hood of a world standard time being adopted (sort of like Star Trek)? 73 Steve - ZL3TUV -- Steve Rooke - ZL3TUV & G8KVD Omnium finis imminet _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
