<quote>But it’s technically all obsolete in the information economy. </quote>

As a matter of perspective, I think alternative time systems could possibly get a toehold in a couple hundred years when more than 1% of the world is actually living/working in an information economy. Right now, it's just you and me.

usbofb Potentially -- in an officeless, free contracting, geographically-agnostic information economy, I can totally see the possibility of alternative systems taking hold. Though at that point, I also wonder how much people will actually refer to clocks at all when everyone is updating their activity and status in a global, regular way. I assume there's a possibility we might just have organization on the fly with micro-contracts that run for as long or as little as you want (depending on industry, of course).

Dunno, maybe to space agey?

I wonder what the effect would be as this gets localized. In Romanian, for example, the word would be brrraaaporte or brrreeepatare.
