Future Proposals: A World Without Time Zones

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: General Time Knowledge

Some futurists advocate abolishing time zones, adopting a single global standard such as UTC for all clocks. People would wake, work, and sleep according to daylight hours in their region, but official times would remain the same worldwide. Proponents argue it could boost efficiency for global businesses, while critics see potential chaos in local daily life. Although unlikely in the near term, these proposals highlight ongoing dissatisfaction with the complexity of current timekeeping systems. Debating a world without zones underscores the delicate balance between global unity and local practicalities.
