　　In contrast, exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modem,industrialized societies.This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many pople in order to work.For a factory to work efficiently （well,quickly and without waste），for example,all of the workers must work at the same time.Therefore,they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon.Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart.Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends.Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers.Complicated societies need clocks and calendars.Thus,we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.
