Right, but let's say you travel to another country across the globe and want to communicate with someone back home. You don't need to calculate timezones, you just remember what a reasonable time is for where you come from.

So I think the problem is a little simpler this way, though it doesn't eliminate the innate complexities of timezones. I do think it solves a lot of those problems, because chances are you're dealing with the same small set of timezones and can easily remember what times are reasonable. I already do that today, so nothing is really changing here other than the numbers we send to each other get simpler.

Exactly, it eliminates the accidental complexity of the timezone system but of course it can't eliminate the essential complexity of the problem of daylight being different in different parts of the world.
