Time Web Sites
TimeAndDate.com Hey, what time is it, anyway? It depends on where in the world you are, and this site knows the answer. If you've ever needed a quick calendar, for, say, the year 1753, or maybe the year 3000, or anything in between, you can get that here too. Key in the year you want (try the year you were born), and like magic, a calendar is generated.

Educational Links on Time Until about 5,000 or 6,000 years ago, there was no need to know the exact time. When the sun rose, people woke up and worked at getting food, fuel, and shelter. When it got dark, people went to bed. Nobody needed to ask, "Is it time for my favorite TV show yet?" or, "Am I late for school?" At this site you can follow a great list of links about the evolution of timekeeping and clocks, from the Sumerians right up until today.
