The relativistic phenomenon of time dilation has been verified in countless experiments. This short paper examines this phenomenon from an engineering point of view; specifically, from the viewpoint of modern electronic communications. It is shown that Einstein's "grandiose view" about the nature of time has unnecessarily overshadowed what is in reality a very simple engineering problem. Accordingly, the dangerous path of thinking that physics has taken for the past 100 years -including such flawed ideas as the effect of travel on aging- will have to be reconsidered.
