I always run into this page when I’m trying to look up what different electrical plugs are used in different parts of the world. Believe me, I look this kind of thing up more often than you might think. Anyway, I totally agree with his point: we would save a lot of money, confusion and aggravation if we could all just agree on what type of plug to use, what side of the road to drive on, what size shoes to wear, etc.
That being said, the site is very interesting, and has lots of cool facts about the different standards used around the world.
After you’re done reading, don’t forget to turn off the Internet.
hehe yea I always wonder whether the different standars are simply b/c people can’t agree or purposefuly so that people can’t buy stuff in a different place and bringit home. or at least they make it difficult, you know?
kinda the same thing as dvds.
good idea about the shoe size though! hehe
i think its a conspiracy to make more money. *tun tun tayayayayayan*
Neat stuff that world standards link … the driving thing interested me the most.
