It was invented so we would use less candles. I believe Ben Franklin has a paper about how much the average Frenchman saved by adjusting the time.
Why we still have it? Most of the US is heavily affected by the shortening of days in winter and the lengthening of them in summer. So we want more time in the light in summer and winter, just different parts of the days.
