The Worldwide System The Worldwide Web can help to spread new ideas in an instant but old dogmas are holding-up the progress of Our Human Race. We need to start again at square zero with a clean sheet of paper and then to update all of Our hardware and software systems. There are currently some forty different ages, dates and times in use around the globe and there are three different distances. We need one system based upon the age, orbit, spin and girth of Our Planet Earth and the number of digits on Our hands. The Worldwide System is a very simple global-digital-decimal one. This is not only a new measurement system but it is also a new management system, based upon job-sharing in a ten-day week, and a new government system, based on electronic referendums.
