Why doesn’t the world just go by Greenwich Mean Time?

 Alright why don't they split the change and move it one half hour and leave it year round?
India does that. ie 1/2 hour offset and no DST.

I would 1/2 agree. Most of the world doesn't understand GMT... They also don't understand 'Mickey's big hand'. They only grasp digital.

I remember seeing a doctor that said he was going to give me a digital exam. When I looked confused he showed me his index finger and said this is a digit.

So what exactly is digital time?

I would much rather they just stick with standard time. I really don't like the sun going down after 9:00 in the summertime.

Digital clock. 'They' can't tell time using a clock with hands.

I think we all know or should know that GMT was set up as a starting point for navigation around the world and that really wasn't even close to accurate until the invention of accurate clocks or chronometers .How many know why the time zones in the U.S. were adapted in the 1880's?
