  • The article focuses on the daylight saving time (DST) started in the U.S. in 1918 and its adoption by several countries, along with a graph on the same. It states that the one-hour shift prevents a sunrise from taking place too early, and the U.S. government also plans to save energy by adding natural light to evenings.
