Technology Dependence...

We are so dependent on technology that we rely on electronic clocks to automatically adjust themselves to daylight savings time without any adjustment from their owners.

Granted, it would be a real pain in the arse to go around the house re-calibrating every non-digital clock (which I have none). However I sometimes have my doubts as to whether the clocks were actually changed. So I'm sort of uncertain what time it is...

Isn't time relative anyway? So who cares what time it is! But I don't want to be late or too early for work in the morning (which has happened before). So I need to know, but did all the clocks change themselves? Or do I have to go around changing them? I'm counting on the former.

List of time-keepers that all changed automatically that I use regularly:
  1. Laptop
  2. Cable box
  3. Cell phone
  4. PDA
  5. Alarm clock (yes, apparently it automatically changes for me...)
The only clock that has not been adjusted is the time that shows in my car. And since I don't know how to change it, it probably will remain the way it is for some time... :)
