Its going to be extremely hard to update computers and other devices for this
Not really hard - just tedious and time consuming.
We should also move to Base 10 Time while we are changing...
100 seconds in a minute
100 minutes in an hour
10 hours in a day
Just 13,600 bonus seconds
Let's include the US in the change this time.
This was already tried, its the Decimal time. It didn't catch on.
Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time
in the French decimal time system there were 100,000 decimal seconds in the day, so the decimal second was shorter than its counterpart.
No bonus seconds, just smaller seconds However people mentioning computers should know that internally they do have a Metric time, so changing that into "anything" else is rather simple.
What about those devices who aren't connected to internet? Can image how much time It'll take to update them manually?
Just sync at 000 (ie. 12am).There is a little python script to show you Swatch's internet time, aptly called swatchtime. I installed it on linux in under 1 beat
At the moment of this writting we are @980 just 20 beats for midnight in Biel...
