in preparation for 2014, CNN has been running some special of the 10 most likely (and some not very likely) things that will change your life in the few years. They have all sorts of drones, new medicines, self driving cars, new barriers to avoid flooding during hurricanes etc but the only one I'm really interested in is the one where they propose getting rid of daylight savings time (TOR has been on this for 5 years running) and condensing the four continental US time-zones to two.. They'd basically combine the Eastern and Central time zones to make one zone and the Mountain and Pacific into the other one which have essentially been combined anyway (8PMEastern/7PMCentral for TV listings)
I can't tell you how sensible this sounds, for no other reason than to make a frequent traveler's, like myself, life a bit easier. I can't tell you how ridiculous it is to drive from Indiana to Illinois and lose an hour.
so sign me up for this time-change thing and boot the entire concept of daylight saving while you are it..
