You can thank Benjamin Franklin for Daylight Saving Time (DST)... he first conceived the idea when he was 78 years old and in Paris. His concept was to conserve energy and more fully enjoy the benefits of daylight.
At 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 11 most U.S. residents will set their clocks ahead one hour for the beginning of Daylight Saving Time. However, not all states go on DST. Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands will not.
Around the world, about 75 countries and territories have at least one location that observes Daylight Saving Time. 164 do not change time at all.
So, before you go to bed this Saturday night, set your clocks ahead one hour. But don’t worry; you can get back to normal time next November 4th.
