In fact, the well-known phrase of Louis XVIII about the accuracy and politeness of kings has a rarely mentioned continuation, completely changing its usual meaning. It sounds like this: "Accuracy is the politeness of kings, but duty is for their subjects." And if accuracy is not an obligatory sign of royal status at all, then punctuality is an indispensable feature of every polite person.

In our age of widespread information technology, there are many ways to find out the exact time. Many cell phones and smartphones have a special feature called Operator Time. Its meaning lies in the fact that, unlike standard watches, which count seconds with a certain built-in mechanism, the phone can also receive time settings from a mobile operator. If your device supports this feature, go to the date and time settings of your cell phone and enable auto-update in the "Operator Time" menu. Now, regardless of your location, you can find out the exact time by looking at your mobile phone.

When you are at the computer, you can find out the exact time by looking at the lower right corner of the screen, where Windows developers prudently marked the electronic clock. However, there is one caveat. Any clock over time has the property of being out of sync. Therefore, to find out the exact time, go to the settings for the date and time of the computer on the tab "Internet Time". After selecting any of the proposed servers, click the "Update Now" button. Now your computer will also show the exact time.

On the main page on a white background you will see an electronic clock that counts the progress of time to the nearest second.
