Join the petition to ask the Canadian government to adopt Standard Time all year round.
"Changing clocks twice a year is hazardous to your health. There are many studies showing that changing the clock and staying on Daylight Saving Time negatively impacts our circadian rhythm, causes increases in strokes and heart attacks, impacts people with depression and seasonal affective disorder and causes more car accidents.
I ask the Canadian Government to finally stop Daylight Saving Time and enact Permanent Standard Time. Even if one person is saved from having a stroke or heart attack or is saved from a car accident, it’s worth it. Support the health and safety of Canadians and set an example for the rest of the world.
Follow the scientific research. Do the right thing and not just the easy and uninformed thing. Don’t change the clocks. Leave them on Standard Time year round. Do not spring forward."
China only has has one time zone for the whole country. Daylight savings can go, but I can understand that because of the earths orbit around the sun there is a need for time zones, I think most people agree that wherever you are, 6am should be morning time, unless everyone wants to move over to military time, and just have a 24 hour clock. It would take some getting used to, but that would be the only way to truly get rid of time zones.
Much of Europe is already using 24hr time.
I can see why, but you also have to consider before the invention of the clock we used sun dials to tell time, so that would effect how to tell what time it is in your particular time zone. I understand that is archaic technology in the modern world, but that is why time zones were invented and still relevant. Ask anyone that works in technology, old habits die hard, and by die hard, they go out kicking and screaming. Some SQL databases I’ve seen still run Solaris which has been a dead product for like ten years, navy boats that don’t connect to the Internet still run windows 95 (believe it or not, I don’t care, but I have seen them recently).
Solaris and Windows 95 are not as old as it gets.
There is still plenty of OS/2. In fact, you can still buy it! https://www.arcanoae.com/arcaos/
And of course, there is lots of DOS left in the wild as well.
I am sure there are some Vaxen still kicking around, especially in the military. I worked for a company that used a lot of DEC Alpha stuff when it was bleeding edge. To my knowledge, their customers are still using it.
