We can either "roll" with it and get on with our lives or complain about it and be miserable. Its unfortunate what happened to the young boy years ago, but it was a freak occurence. Seriously, it isn't that big a deal if you simply change your watch, cell phone and/or computer (as these are the most common) and gte on with life. Its simple, really.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[avondallas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 3rd 2007 7:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Daylight Savings Wreaks Havoc On Gadgets, or Does It?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/30/daylight-savings-wreaks-on-gadgets-or-does-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/30/daylight-savings-wreaks-on-gadgets-or-does-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[Personally, I think the whole Daylight Savings Time thing is completely unwarranted nonsense. If you use US Census figures for 2004, there were 112,000,000 households in the US. If you use the number of timepieces that need to have the time changed (there were 20 in my household (clocks, watches, electronics, autos, appliances, etc)) but let's just use 10 and then multiply, you have 1,120,000,000. It took me 20 minutes to set all of them. Multiply again and you have 22,400,000,000 minutes. Now multiply by 2 for once in the Spring and once for the Fall and you now have 44,800,000,000 minutes. Divide by 60 and you have 746,666,666 hours per year Americans waste screwing around with clocks! Think of all the productive things that could be accomplished with that time. Also, all the people who commute to work traveling eastbound have to deal with the sun in their eyes twice a year instead of once not to mention the return westbound trip. I'm sure hundreds of auto accidents are attributable to this time change. Let's just leave the time alone!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tulipsonuranus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 3rd 2007 7:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Daylight Savings Wreaks Havoc On Gadgets, or Does It?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/30/daylight-savings-wreaks-on-gadgets-or-does-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/30/daylight-savings-wreaks-on-gadgets-or-does-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wish that everyone would get the name straight - it's Daylight Saving Time!

With all the serious issue's in this country screwing with the time was not one that should have been on this list.

They said it was so the kids going to school would not be walking (yes walking) to school in the dark. Back then it was a pain in the butt. I wish they would just leave it as is. Because it would be nice to drive home in the winter time and have day light left too!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Razzi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 3rd 2007 8:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Daylight Savings Wreaks Havoc On Gadgets, or Does It?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/30/daylight-savings-wreaks-on-gadgets-or-does-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/30/daylight-savings-wreaks-on-gadgets-or-does-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's going to continue, so we might as well get on with it!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ivyevine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 3rd 2007 8:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Daylight Savings Wreaks Havoc On Gadgets, or Does It?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/30/daylight-savings-wreaks-on-gadgets-or-does-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/30/daylight-savings-wreaks-on-gadgets-or-does-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[i enjoy daylight savings time.  It really is no big deal to reset the clocks, and it does not interfere with productivity, since it is done at home and, God knows, we waste plenty of time at home!
