    Nah, not GMT. UTC. It’s the more accurate successor, and all computers already use it.

    Not to mention, everyone will always know what time you are talking about anywhere in the world, and based on your own experience, you know if it will be during the day or not.

    Timezones will no longer matter, making software handling time so much easier.

      I support this idea however it will never happen.People are going to want 9 am to be when the sun comes up.

      Switching to a different 24 hour clock won’t help. People are use to 10 being when the sun is up and 23 when the night is happening.

      Having everyone on one time zone would be the best thing ever.

        Having everyone on one time zone would be the best thing ever.

        Have you really thought this through?

        It’s 12 pm in New York.

        It’s 9 am in California.

        Sun rised at 7 am in NY today

        Sun rised at 7 am in CA today

        It was 10 am in NY when sun rose in CA

        So let’s say we get on one clock.

        That means sun rises in California at 4 am

        So now everyone in California has to shift their whole schedule around that.

        7 am sunrise, 9am-5pm work (Sun set begins at 4.5pm)

        Would become 4 am sunrise, 6am-2pm work (Sun set begins at 1:30pm)

        How is that the best thing ever?
