"Clocks adjust gradually each day to keep sunrise near 6am"
While your idea might be very good, this is the reason why it won't be used. Nobody is going to be happy to adjust their analog clock every day.
- jere 6y agoWho still uses analog clocks though? If you don't care for modern tech, just wake up with the sun and you're on time anyway. The idea of keeping track of this system in software sounds terrifying though. Getting rid of DST would simplify things, but this would ramp up the complexity a lot.

- masklinn 6y agoYou can replace "analog clock" by "clock" in general. My computers update on their own, but none of my bedside clock, oven clock, HVAC clock, … do, and all of them are electronic. Also many people do, in fact, enjoy wristwatches or analog wall-clocks.
