Some people don't like it, but I enjoy it when DST arrives. The idea of being able to do things at night time when it is still light outside appeals to me, and provides a stark psychological contrast to the winter when darkness pretty much pervades your entire day. This article states that although Ben Franklin floated the idea of DST, it was not actually implemented until WWI.
Daylight Saving Time first implemented in World War I
