Containership Power supply
A nicely designed power supply shaped like a containership. “Most of the electronic devices in use everyday are manufactured in in a particular province in China and are delivered by containership. The biggest of these vessels can hold up to 9,000 40ft containers and is too massive for the Panama Canal. Paradoxically, they frequently return to China empty- there is nothing to bring back. People generally do not realize the extreme scale of the infrastucture needed when a single geographic area becomes the primary source, even for things that most people see as insignificant. This ship powers our electronic devices with their cords in it’s wake.” [via]
