It changes every year, and twice. So you have no control over it, in fact most cell phones and such change the time for you. I don't really like it either. But when fall comes around, daylight savings time is better b/c you gain an extra hour of sleep! But when spring comes around you lose one :-( Check out this site if you want to know facts about it or learn how and why and when daylight savings time began... :-)

Ha! Ha! It's actually during World War II and the Great Depression and stuff...energy was really low and expenisve...so- they came up with daylight saving so it is cheaper. light stays longer and stuff...so not as much electricity is used. now-a-days most of the u.s. still does it so that farmers have lots of extra sunlight to grow plants or crops and stuff. its good for the economy in all sorts of ways dude.

It used to be a way to gain more daylight hours when most people are awake but the signifigance now would be energy savings for lighting.

I think it is used to same on electricity. to get the most hours of day light. At least that's how it started. So get on the band- wagon and get on with it. I hear the same thing from my husband every year. LOL

really they should just leave it at one time just devived the hour in half and leave it that way all year ...But I was told it is so children do not have to walk to school in the dark and it makes it safer for them too ... Keeps cars from running over them...

I use to say the same thing. Seemed ridiculous and frivolous. There's a very good reason for it that would make your eyes pop out.

So there is more daylight in the evening..... you can do more stuff after work/school before it is too dark to.

You don't have to if you don't want to. You will just have to remember to subtract and hour every time you want to know what time it is.
