Why is this calendar not up to date?

Why does this calendar not look right?          

It's not only months and years that we've messed up, who can think clearly when they have to divide a 24 hour day into 1440 minutes and know when they're too early for their date? How did who come up with minutes and hours anyways? Good grief, don't we have better stuff to waste arithmetic on? A kid I worked with asked me once about the time. "It's twenty-five after seven," I told him. "What time's that?" he demanded to know, acting irritated. "Seven twenty-five," I answered. "Oh," he said, and gave me a look like he wondered why I hadn't said that in the first place!

The clock looks complicated at first glance, but it's no harder to use than our current calamity. The outside numbers still represent our current way of doing time. The two inner circles represent Internet Time, Swatch style, Whitling modified. Since our old fashioned clock makes two swings around the dial to make it through a day, the inner two circles represent 0-500 beats for morning, and 500-1000 beats for afternoons. It gets strange to use at first because the meridian is at Biel, Switzerland, and it's midnite there when 5 P.M. rolls around at my house—and all the clocks read the same time world-wide. I would suggest to them that each 'beat' could be further divided into 100 'ticks' to further refine the measurement of time, which would make each 'tick' have the feel of a second in our current method.
