What is Internet Time?!

Internet time was developed by the Swatch company as a way to tell time without needing the confusion of time zones.  Using their headquarters in Biel, Switzerland as a starting point, they divided the day into 1000 'beats' (that's 1 minute, 26.4 seconds each segment, for you non-mathematicians).  And so, at 4pm in Calgary it would be @000. At 6pm in Toronto, it would also be @000.

Internet time is widely used, although by no means universally accepted.  It could be handy for those who spend a lot of time online or travelling, who need to make appointments and so forth.  So far, Swatch has sold over a million watches featuring 'internet time'.

I've included Internet Time on this website for fun, and also as a reminder of the way the world is changing.  Although even Bill Gates will admit that computers are not the answer to the world's problems, it is true that technology gives us tools to do a lot of good, or a lot of evil.

For Christians, our goal has never changed.  We are responsible for the 6.4 billion+ that populate the earth in our generation.  Let's not deny the dangers, but let's not ignore the opportunities either.  Technology is another tool we have.  What time is it?  It's time to share the love of God with a dying world!

"... have become all things to all men,
that I might by all means save some."
~1Cor 9:22b~


Note:  The internet time on this website will only be correct if the time and time zone on your computer are set right.
