"In 1895, Daylight Savings Time was first proposed by George Vernon Hudson in order to reduce evening usage of incandescent lighting. Today, we advance our clocks during the summertime in order to have more daylight during the afternoon and less in the morning. This benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that thrive during sunlight, especially after working hours, but causes problems for farming, evening entertainment, and other occupations tied to the sun."
