Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Wall Socket by Anh Nguyen Adjusts to Geographic and Domestic Locations

— February 1, 2012 — World
You can likely think of a couple of areas of improvement where your standard electrical plug is concerned, namely made more apparent as household gadgets multiply and come in from international manufacturers. This wall socket by Anh Nguyen Tuan makes for one of the most adaptable power ports you will have seen, catering to the sparseness of installed sockets, to travelers and to gadget junkies.

First of all, the interface has been designed so that it can fit the metal prongs of any region's cables. Presumably, a voltage adapter has been built in as well. This amendment makes it possible to use any device globally, wherever this wall socket by Anh Nguyen Tuan is installed. To top it off, the plug can even be pulled out of the wall with an integrated extension cord, allowing you to set up your electronics almost anywhere you like in a room.

2. Integrated Extension Cords - Wall sockets that feature built-in extension cords, providing flexibility to set up electronics in any location within a room.
3. Voltage Adapters - Innovations that include voltage adapters within wall sockets, eliminating the need for separate adapters when using devices globally.
Industry Implications

3. Home Electronics - Companies that produce home electronics can leverage voltage adapter technology to create devices that can be used globally, without the need for separate adapters.
