Grade 9 Social Studies

Sir Sanford Flemming Old way of keeping time: Each region kept track of their own local time based on the sun's position in the sky. Noon was the time when the sun stood exactly overhead. This was the way clocks were set all over the world. In the old days, locally-based time made sense to everyone, but...

With the introduction of railways, it became highly inconvenient and inefficient. Sir Sandford Fleming invented "Standard Time."

New way of keeping time He devised a world map divided into 24 Time Zones. Within each zone the clocks would indicate the same time, with a one hour difference between adjoining zones. Standard Time went into effect on January 1, 1885.

Without Standard Time, modern life as we know it today would be an impossibility. What does this statement mean?
