It’s About Time*
January 21, 2010 by Bob Stallings.
Ever need to reset your watch, only to discover that every clock in the house displays a slightly different current time? Find out the correct time by going to the Web site, www.time.gov, a public service of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Naval Observatory. In the address line of your browser, simply type “time.gov.” (No need to type “www,” for World Wide Web; it is assumed.) When the map of the United States appears, left click on California, and soon the exact time in the U.S. Pacific time zone will appear.
Now that you know what time it is at your own house, you can find the current time in other parts of the world by visiting the Web site, timeanddate.com/worldclock. (As before, adding “www” is not required). Click on the name of a city to see more information such as current local weather conditions.
