What time is it?

What time is it? A day when people of various countries and states across the world set their clocks one hour a head of the standard time. The practice was first introduced in Europe during the First World War. The idea was to take advantage of the longest summer days by gaining an extra hour of daylight and shortening the days in winter. It was not a new concept, back in 1784 American inventor and politician Benjamin Franklin suggested that starting the day earlier in summer will save a considerable number of candles. Those in favor of practice same today's energy consuming society the environmental benefits links to changing a clock on considerable or of a small amount of electricity as save per household added up they can be significant.

Most of the US, Canada and Mexico's northern border cities will end Daylight Saving Time at 2am local time on November 06, 2018. The clocks will "fall back" an hour to standard time, meaning brighter mornings but darker evenings for most Americans.
