Then you'd be swapping cultural shift instead of clock shift -- you'd go abroad and find that 8pm means breakfast. There's some of that already, say, with evening mealtimes in different countries. But let the technology take the strain, eh?
Absolutely. Those people that need to worry about international coordination (a small percentage) can use UTC. The rest of us can continue to use the times we've been used to all our lives.
Well I wish they did -- as I may have remarked to you in person, am FED UP with bloody Americans who in an international context expect to be able to gives times as EST or fuckwhat. Yes -- those of us who need to talk to people in foreign climes can just use UTC and everyone knows their offset from it.
