About Daylight Savings Time
This Sunday, March 28th, clocks around the world were turned forward one hour and changed to daylight saving time instead. Also called Spring Forward or Daylight Savings Time, is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour from the standard time during the summer months, in order to make better use of natural daylight. According to the latest blog post from American scientist Oded Kariti, it was US inventor and politician Benjamin Franklin who first proposed the concept of DST in America, back in 1784.
