Daily News | Daylight saving time starts Sunday. Here are 7 things to know as clocks spring forward.
Embrace it or begrudge it, we’re all in for a significant change in our lives. On Sunday, a second after 1:59:59 a.m. it will become 3 a.m. as daylight saving time begins anew in Philly.
Who started all this timekeeping business? Beats us. But based on the available evidence, from early on our ancestors recognized that the sun was subtly different at every moment. Monitoring the course of the shadows became a form of timekeeping, thus the sun dial. Human ingenuity took a giant leap with the first mechanical clocks in the 14th century, and 700 years later, let’s just say we have some options for knowing the time.“We do what we want, when we want,” declared Kjell Ove Hveding, leader of a movement to abolish time on the Norwegian island of Sommaroy. He then smashed a clock to the delight of supporters.
“Visitors do get a little confused,” says Rebecca Holley, with the Gulf County Tourist Development Council.
