Daylight savings time is defined as an adjustment of time to create longer lengths of sunshine in the summer. This notion of elongated summer days was first introduced in 1918‚ when America was at war with many different countries (Source A).

REAL OR NOT REAL? After reading Meditation 1 Of the Things Which We May Doubt‚ A synopsis of The Matrix‚ and Plato’s The Allegory of the Cave I am convinced that each one of these writings was wrote by the same person.
