Does anybody else think daylight saving time is ridiculous in this day and age?

Many many years ago, daylight saving time was enacted primarily so the farmers (of which there were many before corporations took over) would have more daylight to bring in the harvest. Later on (1950's or so) it was kept because children were getting hurt on the way to school, driver's couldn't see them. But in this day and age, with the technology the few farmers who are left have and modern conveniences like school busses and street lighting, clock adjustment seems unneccessary to me. 7 states in the united states of america don't recognize daylight saving time. Couldn't we just adjust the clocks 1/2 hour and leave it alone? What do you think?
