How is a 24 hour day determined?
During the equinox, there is an equal amount of day and night. By dividing each into 12 (possibly for the Zodiac or the number of the major Olympian gods), they determined the 24 hour clock. In actuality, a day is not 24 hours, but 23.934 hours. That's where Feb 29th comes in.
What do Arizona and Hawaii do not participate in daylight savings?
Hawaii is relatively close to the equator with minor changes to daylight because of season. Daylight savings would complicate international business and tourists, with no added benefit.
Arizona has determined the twice a year time changes complicate business operations without energy savings or any other benefit. Energy loss may actually occur because of increased use of residential air conditioning.
Overall, daylight savings are not uniformly observed internationally. Most countries do not observe daylight saving time as the US does. Countries that observe daylight saving time do not all change their clocks on the same days or time. Operating on standard time and ignoring daylight saving time simplifies transactions in the global economy.

Why was the first mechanical clock invented?
The world's first mechanical clock was not invented to tell the time. It was invented to regulate the sex life of the Emperor of China. In the ancient China of the Tang dynasty, in the 8th century AD, the emperor's heir was not necessarily his firstborn son. The heir was chosen by the court astrologist according to his astrological suitability. And, for the Chinese, the most important thing astrologically was not when the child was born, but when he was conceived. So, the timing of the Emperor's lovemaking was vital matter of state importance. The exact moment of the conception of each child had to be witnessed and recorded. But, this was complicated by the fact that he shared his marital bed with no less than 121 women, not all at the same time, of course. And, that was another problem because there was a strict order in which the women of the court should attend the Emperor's bed. It all had to be monitored in the minutest detail.
In 723, the horrendous logistics of the Emperor's bed drove a Buddhist monk, by the name of Izing to invent a water driven, spherical, bird's eye view map of the heavens, clock. It was also known as the first mechanical clock in this world.

Actually, although Daylight Saving Time was started 16 weeks earlier than usual in 1974 (Jan. 6 instead of April 28) and 9 weeks earlier than usual in 1975 (Feb. 23 instead of April 27), it ended at the usual time in each of those years. The only time the United States had an actual year-round Daylight Saving Time was from February 9, 1942 through September 30, 1945. It was part of the nationwide attempt to channel as much as possible of our natural resources into the war effort.

Who created Daylight Saving Time What purpose did it serve?
It was thought up by Benjamin Franklin. It's main purpose is to adjust people to the lack of daylight in winter months, though that is not quite the case. Daylight Savings Time actually makes it appear as if the sun has risen up earlier in the morning (as the sun rises late in winter months). This limits the amount of sunlight in the afternoon, which I believe is the most important, considering scholars and such have a knack of wandering outside at these hours, and the lack of daylight increasingly limits their freedom. So, I guess the best answer to your question is a non-linear one; Daylight Savings Time just helps people get up early to get to work by extending the amount of daylight during the morning. Other than that, it's kind of pointless, as most people don't remember their mornings as well as they do their afternoons, and since the afternoon daylight hours are restricted by DST, it only creates more questions than it "answers."
