Wired explores how technology makes the daylight savings change painless and the problems still caused by DST:
Virtually all computers have been capable of adjusting for daylight-saving time automatically since the mid-1990’s, and do so by synching their internal clocks to the system’s calendar function. Cell phones display the time of the local network that they are connected to, and so update themselves automatically as well.
Blah blah blah… You could read the link but really, who gives a crap?
Here’s a thought instead: it’s time for this meaningless practice to end. We ought to repeal daylight savings time entirely. Much as it pains me to say this: Saskatchewan has got it right.
