How would the world be different if we
didn't have accurate timekeeping devices?
Answers
The notion of no timekeeping devices is essentially nonsensical. Any environment in which there is change serves as a timekeeping device. The only way in which there could be no timekeeping device is for there to be no change.
That would be nothing. Because you could not even think about nothing changing, as that would be a change.
Daniel grasped one common interpretation of your question, which more properly would have been: What would our lives be like if we had no mechanical or electromechanical timekeeping devices?
People would adapt rather quickly, and would use natural timekeeping methods, such as the height of the sun, the position of the stars just as they did in the past.
The decline in productivity Daniel mentions would be at the margins rather than catastrophic or massive. We would only notice the difference over time (pardon the pun.)
Would this be an improvement or a disimprovement? That's difficult to say. Productivity would decline, but would that mean a decline in quality of life? That is very difficult to say.
hope it will help you ❣️❣️
