So you want to abolish time zones (2015)

I've been using UTC on all of my devices since college and never looked back. No changing clocks during travel. Log files, astronomical events, everything is easy to parse on one clock.

It's less complicated than the author makes it out to be. This isn't 1980 where people call people directly. I never call people without a pre-scheduled appointment. Usually both parties state their available times and a common time is chosen.

For friends and family a message amounting to "hey are you available for a call now" usually preceeds the actual call. Unless it's a rare case of an actual emergency, in which case the time doesn't matter anyway.

the whole article is trying to make a joke but then obviously loses all seriousness

if you abolish time zones then you need to bring back solar time:

ok, so when do we meet? at 12:30PM UTC, which is going to be your 11:47AM solar time and my 1:24AM solar time
