Is daylight saving times really necessary
we have moved into real-time communications where the time of day isn’t important. Do we really need daylight savings?

Yes, because most people go to work at consistently scheduled times such as 9-5 or 8-4. In a pre-industrial society daylight savings time is of little use. Real time communications have nothing to do with the issue. It is a matter of saving energy on lighting and safety during travel.
By the way, read the below source by Ben Franklin for a number of reasons.
Here's a bit of it:
"For in walking thro' the Strand and Fleet Street one morning at seven o clock, I observed there was not one shop open tho it had been daylight and the sun up above three hours -- the inhabitants of London choosing voluntarily to live much by candlelight and sleep by sunshine, and yet often complaining a little absurdly of the duty on candles and the high price of tallow"
