Changing clocks twice a year is the dumbest thing ever.
People talk about daylight saving time as giving us "more daylight" in the summer time. No, it doesn't.
-Teresa
Most people in most modern societies regulate their daily cycles by the clock, not the rising and setting of the sun. Daylight saving time does not lengthen daylight, but it shifts the clock during the summer to make the typical times when people are awake and using electricity better coincide the hours of daylight. Hence the “saving” portion of daylight saving time.
Arguably with the reduction in importance of the 9-5 industrial workers schedule, and advent of flex schedule the value of daylight saving time is diminished.
