TECHNOLOGY: Just use GMT!

End Daylight Saving Time
by Sheila Danzig

*** begin quote ***

It has not escaped our notice that in the United States, Eastern standard time is the same as Central daylight time and Mountain standard time is the same as Pacific Daylight Time. Thus, we propose that The Pacific and Central time zones remain on permanent daylight saving time, and that the Mountain and Eastern time zones remain on permanent standard time.

*** and ***

This proposal will simplify scheduling, travel, and commerce. And by ending semi-annual clock tampering, it will also allow people to get more sleep, be better adjusted to their daily routine, avoid missed appointments resulting from failure to reset clocks, and, most importantly, save lives.

I don’t agree completely.

Let’s just go to GMT time. COmputers already do.

And, leave everyone free to sort out the details themselves.

With one standard time, people will sort it out.

  1. I could get behind this idea! Change noontime to seven a.m. and I could brag about getting up bright and early every morning!

    Heehee… Hey, the rockwell link didn’t work for me so you might want to double check it.

    Of course it might just be this new puter with Windows 10 on it. With Windows 10 seeming to DELIBERATELY sabotage Chrome by building in huge delays in its initial loading and its attachment of files etc. VERY annoying. And at least *seemingly* deliberately done so as to frustrate users and push them into using Microsoft Edge (that, of course, comes SOOOO conveniently packaged with and displayed prominently by Windows 10.)
