  Any solution that involves everyone being required to bug their homes with an internet connected device or carrying a mobile is a terrible solution. Not everyone has or wants that type of device, and many don't even internet access.

    A computer is only required for calculating the time in another state or zone. It doesn’t need to be connected to the Internet. But, if you want to call someone in another state, you already have a computing device handy. Even TVs carry powerful computers these days. Worst case, you have to consult a table. I know you think this is a conspiracy to “bug” someone’s home by infecting it with the Internet. My wish for you is for a time machine to transport you to the century in which you belong.

      With solar time, computer is required to calculate times for everyone. Roughly 20 mi east/west is 1 min in time. It means that people in the same metro area can have different local times. This isn't a problem for spontaneous phone calls but is a big problem for meetings. My team works from home but is mostly in same metro area. One person is 10:01 in their time, another is 9:59 in their time. The time depends on who makes the meeting. What time do you use when go in to the office?
