Daylight Saving Time is a confusing rule which affects our daily life by shifting time. It is said that energy can be saved because people get up and go to bed earlier in summer seasons. In my opinion, DST is not so effective and the defect is bigger. I don't get up eariler and stay up late whether it is in effect or not. Under the bubble economy in Vancouver, more and more shops have expanded their business hours and people have got accustomed to staying up until midnight. I think it's better to prohibit all the shops open after midnight in order to save energy. What is most confusing about DST is that the rules are different in countries or regions and they sometimes vary. I can't believe that In some areas, 30 minute shift is adopted and 20 minute shift used to be adopted. I hear that DST is going to start three weeks eariler this year than usual in most regions of North America while not in South America. It is going to create three types of time differences for example between Vancouver and Chile. What a confusing and stupid situation! Anyway, the advanced DST is going to start next Sunday in Vancouver and I had to install a new software on my PDA. I have to adjust some built-in clocks in electronic appliances by that time.
