But is the time change even needed?  What purpose does it really serve?  There are lots of stories about it rooted in wartime/economy etc. But these things do not seem to be valid anymore.  And are they worth the collective cost?

I have to say I prefer light later in the day though.

Most people use some form or other of computer to tell time nowadays anyway, and even physical mechanisms would not be extremely difficult (I think) to redesign to change smoothly throughout the year.
