Last year I changed my Blackberry manually then it did it for me so it was all messed up. I think most of my devices will do it automatically.

Basically anything which has a calender will change automagically.

Just read a BBC article about changing time on big ben:

Most people in the UK are to enjoy an extra hour in bed, as clocks go back to mark the end of British Summer Time. Among those who will not benefit from the extra hour in bed on Sunday are the clockmakers at the Palace of Westminster. Shortly after 21:00 they began the five-hour process of changing the time on each of the four faces of the Great Tower, which houses Big Ben. As well as re-setting the time, they make a close inspection of the clock mechanism as part of a rolling maintenance programme. The hour strike is locked off to stop the bell chiming and the dial lights are also switched off to allow workers to alter the time without drawing public attention.
Pretty interesting and must be very fun also. I'm surprised they haven't upgraded big ben to have an automated digital system.

No doubt if we did it would always break!
