Answer»

Did you?
A search of Google for "Why DAYLIGHT Savings time is good" was not very good.
What is the answer to this pressing question.
Did the Greek economy fail because they refused Daylight Savings Time?
Curious minds need to know.
Yes, I did. 

I did not do a Google search on "Why Daylight Savings time is good".  I've always understood the reason to be to give people more daylight time at the end of a typical workday to enjoy outdoor activities during the warmer months.  But, I've often wondered whether the decision in 2005 to extend Daylight Savings time was the best thing to do.

It was a bad idea changing nit with little preponderation.. Having it a a firm calendar point makes it possible to do calculations needed in database management and other IT jobs. The last recent change has COST the industry a Billion dollars in unseeded work to update the ALGORITHM is countless millions of computers that need a predictable time standard. It is more that an annoyance.

Damage to a German steel facility occurred during a DST transition in 1993, when a computer timing system linked to a radio time synchronization signal allowed molten steel to cool for one hour less than the required duration, resulting in spattering of molten steel when it was poured.[8] Medical devices may generate adverse events that could harm patients, WITHOUT being obvious to clinicians responsible for care.[88] These problems are compounded when the DST rules themselves change; software developers must test and perhaps modify many programs, and users must install updates and restart applications. Consumers must update devices such as programmable thermostats with the correct DST rules, or manually adjust the devices' clocks.[10]
