What it would do, in my mind, is trade two questions for one.
With time zones:
It's 3:00 for me. What time is it for you?
Okay, it's 5:00 for you. What times are you available?
Without time zones:
It's 3:00 for me and for you. What times are you available?
As far as reimplementing time zones, I doubt that would happen. In a globally connected world it doesn't make sense to have people on 37 different schedules. That system evolved in a world where people were mostly isolated based on geographical location; communication and travel took multiple days. Now, you can fly across three time zones in as many hours, and communicate with an opposing time zone instantaneously. Without the precedent of time zones I don't believe they would occur to anyone.

Yes, your article already stated that.
My main point
Why does it have to be one or the other? Why not universal time for business and computer logic and local time for local, real world humans living life. (oh wait... it's already like that.)
I just don't feel like it has to be one OR the other.
