Who's Stuck With Changing the Clocks?

The iPhone can't do everything. Who's stuck with changing the clocks for Daylight Saving time in your home?

The hour between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. will magically disappear this Sunday as we all move our clocks forward one hour to begin Daylight Saving Time.

In an era of cell phones and computers that know when you've move to a different time zone, let alone arrived at a special date in March, it feels anachronistic to have to manually adjust a clock.

Yet most of us still have at least a few around the house that have to be changed. We wanted to know: who takes care of this thankless chore in your home?
