Please Double Check Your Cellphones, While You "Spring Forward."

I am one who is usually aware of time. Even if I am not sure what time it IS, I almost always know how much time has PASSED. Knowing that today is the day to turn all clocks ahead one hour in most of North America, I turned my watch ahead around 11 PM, so I wouldn't forget to do it in the morning. I was not going anywhere, so it didn't matter if my watch was wrong for a few hours. My computer, iPod, and iPhone would set themselves automatically, when the time came. My husband and I had a nice evening of watching TV etc, that lasted long past the hour of the time change. I looked at my watch, 3:15. I looked at my computer, 3:15. I looked at my iPod, 3:15. I looked at my iPhone, 4:15??? The stupid thing set itsself ahead TWO hours. There is no way to adjust the time on an iPhone, your provider does it for you automatically. I was a little upset, as I did not want one of my clocks to be wrong. I decided to turn the phone off, wait a while, and turn it on again. I don't know if the cell tower figured out the mistake, or if turning off the iPhone reset something, but when I turned it on again, my iPhone, and iPod matched. So to all those with computers, cellphones, iPods, and other devices that set themselves automatically, be sure and check them to make sure they set themselves to the CORRECT time.
