Why do we have daylight saving time?

Daylight saving time is a scheme that will take place all hours in an hour in relation to normal time. Several countries have implemented this to exploit the bright parts of the dung.

Countries that are located in the equator use rare summer time, as the length of the day does not vary greatly from the moment.

In Europe, only Iceland does not adjust the daylight saving time. In return, Iceland has a time zone that is one hour ahead of the natural, so it can be said that they are "summer time around". For Norway and most other countries in Europe, summer time lasts from last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October. The exact time of the clock is set back and forth with a few hours between different countries.

Summer time was first proposed by Benjamin Franklin in an essay early as in 1784, but was not used in the first world war; Germany was first out in 1916, and then followed the United Kingdom. The idea was to make better use of the summer months with light an hour extra in the evening and reduce energy consumption. Energy saving has probably had less importance in the industrialized countries in recent times.
