time standardization

Time standardization is the process of establishing uniform time measurements across different regions. Before standardization, local communities often set their own time based on natural events like sunrise. This led to confusion, especially with travel and communication. The introduction of time zones, based on the Earth's rotation, and systems like Greenwich Mean Time provided a consistent framework. As a result, it became easier to coordinate activities globally, from business meetings to travel schedules. Standardized time ensures that everyone, regardless of location, can refer to the same clock, enhancing synchronization and efficiency in daily life.
