    The world is metric apart from three countries that insist on remaining in the first half of the 20th century, Myanmar, Liberia and the USA. The countries that used imperial measurements and went metric did so in the 1960s and 70s and the change was initiated, organised and accomplished by the people born after WWII - the Baby Boomers. 

    I don't know about Liberia and Myanmar but I think it is time the USA moved into the 21st century. There is no advantage or benefit in keeping the old measurements and every advantage in going metric.
