so pretty much the only reason why there's the difference is shock safety?
what a let down, ive been shocked several times when i was overseas, but it wasn't that big a deal, just a little buzz, but I get really pissed when my appliance motors get busted because of the voltage difference.
ah well.... US method of thinking seems a little off
it's just sad though, my uncle was talking about how only the most "advanced" nations use 110V because 220V is a cheaper method of generation, so the less developed countries can afford it over the 110V. The more "advanced" countries adopt the 110V system because it's safer.
I guess it's the other way around...
