First, it's daylight saving time, not daylight savings time.
And I love it. The point of it is, sunrise and sunset are now an hour later, putting the last hour of sunlight later in the day. I think it's great when the sun doesn't go down until 9 oclock in the middle of the summer, and I wouldn't want to set that back to 8 o'clock.
A lot of people seem to think the reasoning behind this is farming and agricultural. That's not true at all. Farmers start their work when the sun comes up regardless of what the clock says. The reason we started it was to save resources during world war two. When you have sunlight in the early morning hours, it does no good because most people are asleep. But when you have sunlight later into the evening, it's just another hour people go before they turn all the lights on thus saving resources.
