In an age where everyone carries a computer in their pocket, the metric system's only advantage (that it makes converting units easier) is irrelevant.

Conversions being easier is nice, but the main advantage of the metric system is that it is a set of properly standardised units that the rest of the world uses...

Having a computer in your pocket is never going to change that.
