In this video, I look at the question: "Do we really need time zones?". Time zones cause a lot of problems, and in the last few years, some have called for them to be completely abolished, suggesting instead that the entire world shold just use the eact same time.

I start this video by very briefly talking about how time zones came to be, before outlining some of the potential upside to a world without time zones... I finish the video off by looking at some of the difficulties of ditching time zones, arguing that actually, it's less complicated with time zones.
