The presentation discusses Daylight Saving Time (DST), which is the practice of setting clocks forward by one hour during the summer months to extend evening daylight. Initiated by Benjamin Franklin in 1784, DST begins in the U.S. on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November, although not all countries observe it. The pros of DST include energy savings and increased recreational time, while the cons involve sleep disruption and potential inefficiencies for non-participating regions.
