You must doing something really life-threatening surgeries on your
computer to be so stupid to be accurate within a nano-second!!!! One
minute here or one minute there doesn't make any difference in my line
of business and I still charge my clients by units of 15 minutes a time.

The correct time is essential for the operations of the internet, as
time is part of the internet connect protocol as I understand. When
the time on the computer becomes different from the time on the ISP,
errors will be created. (From experience I do know that when the ISP
and Computer time are different you have internet problems.)

Therefore you must use a reliable and accurate time server like
time.nist.gov

I am retired and for my personal schedule the time in months is
sufficient to keep me on schedule. ;-)

Don't talk rubbish. Internet uses its own time system and never relies
on computers to give it correct time. On any netwrok system servers
provide the time for any transactions. When I access any service in
USA, the time logged on their system is their time not the time on my
computer. Time on computer can be anything you want. Try sending an
email using web based UI (after you changed the computer time) such as
Hotmail or Google and see what time it has.
