We now have the technology to accurately, and simply, keep solar time wherever we are, instead of using and manipulating archaic time zones. Edit: The original

We now have the technology to accurately, and simply, keep solar time wherever we are, instead of using and manipulating archaic time zones. Edit: The original, 19th-century impetus for time zones (vs solar time) was to reliably print and manage train schedules across longer East-West railroads. With powerful computers and satellite positioning cheaply available to everybody, we could overcome this now-obsolete hack.
