Daylight Savings Time

With the start of daylight saving time right around the corner, let's ask ourselves.. Is this outdated?
Why was it invented? Does it make sense for modern times?

Daylight saving time conserves energy, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. When the sun sets later, it's presumed that people will stay out longer and spend more time outside.
That leads to less electricity for lights and appliances.

This is contrary to popular belief; Daylight Saving Time was created to benefit farmers.
The truth of the matter is the agriculture industry lobbied against daylight saving time in 1919. Some believe it was then that farmers became associated with daylight saving time, even though they were only involved because they were against it.

If we are taking energy conservation; my thought is no, it is not outdated.
Does it make sense for modern times? You be the judge.
