Who created day light savings?
The idea of Daylight Saving Time was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin during his sojourn as an American delegate in Paris in 1784, in an essay, "An Economical Project." Some of Franklin's friends, inventors of a new kind of oil lamp, were so taken by the scheme that they continued corresponding with Franklin even after he returned to America. American Benjamin Franklin first thought of shifting daylight, but Londoner William Willet pushed the idea in Great Britain. The idea of shifting daylight was first advocated seriously by London builder William Willett - 1857-1915 - in the pamphlet, "Waste of Daylight" 1907, that proposed advancing clocks 20 minutes on each of four Sundays in April, and retarding them by the same amount on four Sundays in September. As he was taking an early morning a ride through Petts Wood, near Croydon, Willett was struck by the fact that the blinds of nearby houses were closed, even though the sun was fully risen. When questioned as to why he didn't simply get up an hour earlier, Willett replied with typical British humor, "What?"
