Why don't we, Arizona, change our time like the rest of the U.S?

The reasons are simple: Having everyone come home from work an hour earlier to turn on or turn down their apartment or home's central air conditioner would cost the state a prohibitively large amount of money.

There is no use apart from being in time with the rest of the world.\n\nIn some parts it is not wise to put the clocks forward/backwards as this will change what time it is at the hottest in a day.\n\nChina is one of the few counties that does do this.

I'm confused by the question.  If you mean, did some act of congress do away with daylight savings time, then no.  Daylight savings time is still alive and well and used over large portions of the world.  In the US, the only states that don't use it are Arizona and Indiana, though Indiana is set to start using it, I hear.

Originally, each town set its own local time and 12:00 noon was when the sun was highest in the sky. Thus the time in each town was different. When trains started running, this became annoying in trying to develop schedules. Time zones were created to standardize time over large areas.

The person above was correct since there are different time zones for different places in the USA.\n\nHere is a site with a map with the current times and the zones:\n\nhttp://www.worldtimezone.com/

Absolutely! It is ridiculous that it is fully dark at 4PM in the winter where I live, yet it doesn't get dark until 10 PM in the summer.  We could at least do away with some of the gap by eliminating the artificial difference by going on daylight saving time permanently.

The same time as it was one second ago. The only reason it would change would be if the time was like 8:21:59; one second from that would be 8:22.\n :)

Yes actually. When Ben Franklin was arguing with the Creator about his roll in the daily lives of men, he had to excuse himself because of an appointment. That lead to a discussion of time and time keeping, and God said he was partial to the old system where daylight was divided into twelve hours and so was the dark. Anyhow eventually the Lord suggested daylight savings time as a compromise.

Germany is central European time and Atlanta is Estaern time. They are both on day light savng time. So when it is 8 PM in Germany it is 6 hours earlier in Atlanta, meaning 2 PM.\n\nWhich team do you support other than the US?

Scientists are delaying the start of 2006 by the first "leap second" in seven years, a timing tweak meant to make up for changes in the Earth's rotation.\n\nThe adjustment will be carried out by sticking an extra second into atomic clocks worldwide at the stroke of midnight Coordinated Universal Time, the widely adopted international standard, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology said this week.\n\nFor more info, visit:\nhttp://www.theage.com.au/news/world/a-year-late/2005/12/25/1135445473624.html

Time now, is a universal thing.  It would be a pain to convert different time measurements.\n\nBack then when clocks and wristwatches weren't invented yet, different civilizations had different ways of telling time because of the lack of world-wide communication like we have now.  With today's technology it is easy to have a universal system for time.

Nope.  There is no time like the present, so why waist it waiting.

I live in America, but I'm currently in Germany for the next month for my fashion work. In Manhatten Beach, California (Where I live) it's 6:48 AM, and here in Amsterdam, it is 3:48 PM. The time change is so bizaree!
