One Hour Behind, Again
Sunday, November 1st, 2009This Daylight Saving Time phenomenon is occurring so frequently I am almost getting bored talking about it. I’m sure you’re already bored hearing me talk about it. Turn a corner and poof! — the time’s changed again.
The funny thing is, I woke up this morning and had to hunt for evidence that the time had changed from PDT to PST last night.
I guess it’s technology catching up with social stupidity. Almost any clock that has a microchip is now capable of automatically adjusting to the jump in time with no manual intervention. The exceptions, of course, are the clocks that don’t store your time-zone.
So here’s what I found this morning.
Clocks that show the correct time:
- Computers (all desktops and laptops)
- Digital alarm clock
- Cell phone
Clocks that do not show the correct time:
- Microwave (stores only the time, not the date)
- Camera (stores the date, but not the time-zone)
- Pager (stores the date, but not the time-zone)
Perhaps I should have at least one good analog clock hanging on the wall to maintain my sanity.
