Daylight savings time was a system invented by Ben Franklin to aid farmers by adjusting the clocks back or forward one hour so they could still interact with people in cities and get their work done while it was light. The notable phrase for day light savings is: Fall back, spring forward. This is because the clocks are set back one hour in the fall and then moved forward in the spring. Most people today find it to be a nuisance. I am one of them.
