Help, getting ambiguous reference error

using "using System;" causes error

"Object is an ambiguous reference between Unity.Object and object"

for spriteArray

I need to use "using System;" for "TimeSpan" and "DateTime" calculations

e.g.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 using System;
 
 public class arrayAndDateTimeTest : MonoBehaviour 
 {
     
     public Object [] spriteArray;
     private DateTime myDateTime;
     private TimeSpan myTimeSpan;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () 
     {
         spriteArray = Resources.LoadAll ("EnergyBarSprites/Energy Bars"); //EnergyBarSprites
         myDateTime = System.DateTime.Now;
         myTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);
     }
 }

why do you need System? UnityEngine has its own version of certain functions, which is why there's ambiguity.

unless you specifically need System, then don't include it and if you do, then reference the functions needed explicitly. ... something like System.DateTime, UnityEngine.Object, etc.
