Earth is now a place. You might watch the Olympics in Athens, chat in San Francisco, and play a computer game in Singapore. This is the neighbourhood, and it's getting closer. All our global appointments and interactions need to occur at a point in time. So, whose time do we use? Your local time, my local time? That is not going to work for the online computer game with 1000's of players, is it? Of course, there are is the GMT standard invented in the 19th century for ships and the telegraph.
