Answer:
When I was a child ordinary clocks were accurate to five minutes per day. In the morning one would normally wound them up and reset the time by the radio broadcasted signal.
Explanation:
Times have changed. Ordinary clocks today are accurate to one minute per year. Your question is : do we need that?
Spaghetti packages tell you how many minutes to cook the pasta if you want it "al dente" or "well done".
When I was a youngster the 100 m dash was measured to the nearest 10th of a second (by a number of judges, chronometer in hand, standing by the tape). Today the same race is given electronically to the nearest 100th of a second.
I do not run the 100m anymore, and I still check my spaghetti by biting one, once in a while, to make sure that they are to my taste.
Obviously if I were to leave by train, or if did not want to miss the beginning of a show, I would make sure to be at the given place at least a couple of minutes before the time.
So, to answer your question, it all depends on what you call your ordinary life, and how you plan to run it (or walk it).
