- ghaff 11y agoBased on your reference, I'm not sure that standardized timezones so much transitioned US culture toward a more schedule-oriented environment as allowed it to expand to a larger scale. The banker in a specific city in Indiana with a 2pm meeting probably expected his appointment to show up at a specific time. Time zones made it more practical to schedule things across the country when it became more important to do so.
