It would only take us one generation to just switch over to everyone using UTC in a 24 hour clock and we could get rid of time zones, DST, AM / PM, and all the other time crap built up over the last thousand years around people wanting to always get up at 7 am.
But then again, if the US can't implement the metric system, I have no idea how ~6.5 billion people (those not in GMT right now) would learn that dawn does not always mean 7 am and dusk does not mean 7 pm.
But think of the benefits! Schedule an appointment in CA from NY, and you don't have to explode your brain thinking about time conversions. New show at 20:00! Wait, 8, is that am or pm? No problem!
