Timezones are kind of a necessary evil though, because without them then you'd have to check regions (or zones) to see if 1PM in China is the same thing as 1PM in Australia is the same thing as 1PM in Bolivia.

Even then, 1pm in Beijing is something different than 1pm in the Tibet since all of China is technically one time zone.
