Getting global in a globalized world

With the world getting increasingly globalized, with people in virtually any corner of the globe being just a phone call or an email away, connectivity no longer remains a challenge as it used to be in the earlier days. At the same time, with businesses setting up operations in multiple countries and not just the country of their origin, there is a fervent need for traveling to and being physically located in diverse countries and cultures. Indeed, that seems to be the dichotomy of globalization; even though technology enables a lot of activities to be undertaken in a virtual setting, there are many other processes and procedures that require a definitive physical presence.
In this regard, one of the major challenges that a lot of globe trotters invariably face, is that of connectivity with regard to their electronic gadgets; that is because the electrical systems the world over do not function uniformly in the same manner. Further, many electric devices are also in turn meant to run only at specific voltages whereby the ability to run them in certain countries that have a different voltage system gets negated.
In such a scenario, the requirement for reliable voltage converters is certainly felt. With these voltage converters in place, one can safely run the desired electronic gadget, at just the right voltage it is meant to run on. This in turn not only ensures the ability of the gadget to operate, it also ensures its safety; when devices are run at voltages either higher or lower than the ones at which they are meant to operate, there is every chance that the device in question could possibly suffer extensive damage, even to the extent of it being rendered completely unusable for good.
The pioneers of the aforementioned deluxe automatic voltage regulator have also managed to extend their intuitive electronic engineering capabilities to come out with other devices that would also add to the entire ability to run electronic devices the world over, with complete ease. Take for instance, Region Code Free DVD players which allow DVDs from around the world, irrespective of the particular regional code in which they might have been created, to be played without a hitch. Further, with a lot of plug systems in the world also varying in shape and design, these enterprising ventures have also come out with international adapters plugs that allow all devices to be connected to just about any electronic system, with complete ease.

  1. What is the difference between a voltage converter and a voltage regulator? I'll tell you.
    A voltage regulator functions as a voltage converter as well as a voltage stabilizer.
    A voltage stabilizer will stabilize the electricity to fixed current.
    This unit is usually used in countries where the voltage currency is not stable.
    The voltage regulator will stabilize a voltage fluctuation between 75v-130v to 110v (+- 4%).
    The voltage regulator will stabilize a voltage fluctuation between 180v-260v to 220v (+- 4%).
