The idea of DST came from Benjamin Franklin. The man who started it was George Vernon Hudson in 1895. It was first used in world war one. George Vernon Hudson was from New Zealand. William Willets in 1905 wrote a book about DST.
In the USA DST starts on the second Sunday of march so it goes forward an hour. In the USA DST ends on the first Sunday of November it goes back an hour. In Europe It starts on the last Sunday of march. In Europe it stops the last Sunday of October.
We do it for reasons like adding light to our evenings. You can do a lot more outdoor actives in the summer. It also messes with your sleep. Some clocks set them self's back. Traveling is hard right after DST.
All the states but Arizona, Hawaii, Porto Rico, The Virgin islands, Guam and america Samoa all use DST. Most country used to use DST but don't any more. Most of Africa never used DST.
