It’s That Time Again…

TED-Ed has two lessons that arent specifically about Daylight Saving Time but belong to the subject. The History of Keeping Time discusses sundials, hourglasses, and the development of timezones. Second, How Did Trains Standardize Time in the United States? describes the role of railroads in the development of the timezones used in the United States (and most of Canada) today.

Daylight Saving Time ends today for a number of my friends in Europe and it ends next Sunday for those people in North American states and provinces that observe Daylight Saving Time. As someone who gets up early and resides in a northern state, I invite the modification as Ill see the sun an hour earlier. And hopefully, my kids will benefit from the “extra” hour of time for sleeping next Saturday night.

If it isnt as succinct as the videos above, CGP Greys video description of Daylight Saving Time is still a great one even.
