Time for the world to march to Swatch's Beat?
by Vicki Allan
is Biel Mean Time [BMT] - the new attempt to introduce a single time-zone for all iNTERNET users - destined for the same cultural dustbin as Esperanto?
BMT is the brainchild of Swiss watchmakers Swatch, and cyber-guru Nicolas Negroponte and it aims to save iNTERNET users from making complex calculations when arranging virtual meetings with their Web contacts in far-flung locations.Key into the Net or wear a Swatch Beat watch, and you and your contacts will all be in the same virtual time-zone. Each day contains one thousand [1.000] beats, each lasting one 1min 26.4 secs. Noon in Biel Time is not only @ 500 in Switzerland, but @ 500 all over the world.
And if BMT does take off, it would represent a further step in getting the world to march to the same beat. Until the late 19th century, each town determined its own local time from solar readings. When the industrial revolution brought the railways, it seemed ridiculous to have to adjust your watch by five minutes each time you travelled between towns.
The Prime Meridian conference of 1884 should have put an end to all that, by establishing 24 time zones and Greenwich Mean Time, but as ever there was resistance. The French stuck doggedly to their own time until 1911.
Neu Zeitrechnung
Ursprung ; listserv.muohio.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind9811a&L=archives&T=0&F=&S=&P=1800 Ursprung ; Tageszeiten London 28 Oktober 1998 Zeitrechnung fürs Welt zu Marsch zu Swatch's Klopfen? beim Vicki Gottist Biel Armselig Zeitrechnung BMT ] die neu Versuch zu einführen ein ledig Zeitrechnung - Zone als alle Internet Anwender bestimmte fürs gleich kulturell Müllkasten als Esperanto? BMT ist die Geistesprodukt über Eidgenosse Uhrmacher Patsche , und cyber - Guru Nikotin Negroponte und es Ziele zu sparen Internet Anwender ab gemacht komplex Kalkulationen wenn vereinbarend gedacht Versammlungen mit ihre Netz Berührungen in entfernt - geschleudert Ortungen. Lösung hinein die Netz oder auch trägst ein Patsche Klopfen zusehen , und du und ich ihrer Berührungen Wille alle in der Luft liegen gleich gedacht Zeitrechnung - Zone. Jeden label beinhaltet eintausend [1.000] Schläge , jeden anhaltend man secs. Mittag in Biel Zeitrechnung ist nicht allein @ 500 in Schweiz , aber @ 500 über und über die Welt.
Und falls BMT tut streifen , es würden vorstellen ein fördern einschreiten bekommen die Welt zu Marsch zur gleich klopfen. Bis zu die spät 19th Jahrhundert , jeden Stadt entschlossen sein leiblich Ortszeit ab Trost Lesungen. Wenn die industriell Umschwung brachte die Eisenbahnen , es schient lächerlich zu müssen angepaßt ihrer zusehen beim fünf Minuten jedesmal Sie gefahren zwischen Städte.
Die Blütezeit Meridian Besprechung über 1884 sollte bekommen aufsagen alle jene , beim Festsetzung 24 Zeitrechnung Zonen und Greenwich Armselig Zeitrechnung , aber als immer es war Widerstand. Die Französisch gesteckt verbissen zu ihre leiblich Zeitrechnung bis zu 1911.
Die Einbeziehung über Nikolaus Negroponte , Chef des MiT Medien Labor und Autor über Dasein Numerisch , fügt hinzu Schwere zur Patsche BMT überstehen.
The involvement of Nicholas Negroponte, head of the MiT Media Lab and author of Being Digital, adds weight to the Swatch BMT project.
"The Net has both asynchronous and synchronous uses," he says. 'At the Media Lab, we recently started a Junior Summit in which children from 10 to 15 years old were asked to participate in the design of the future.
'But the kids have had a problem. They didn't know how to make appointments. Someone would say, 'Let's chat at 10pm,' but that would be 10pm in France. What time is that in Saudi Arabia? BMT would solve that problem."
'The virtual world is absent of night and day," Negroponte argues. 'iNTERNET time is not driven by the Sun's position, it is driven by yours - your location in space and time."
But despite our continuing efforts, night and day and the whole of nature can't be discarded entirely, unless you choose to live in an artificial pod.
BMT can only ever be complimentary to local time. So will it become popular?
Swatch has already successfully negotiated for the Swatch Beat in coverage of the the 2000 Olympics, and, in the words of Nicholas Hayek Jr, the son of Swatch's director, 'The americans sell time, the italians have a good time and the Swiss make time." Maybe the Swiss will crack it: only time will tell.
