Shipping containers, which look identical all around the world, have revolutionized global trade by standardizing transport and logistics. An exhibition in Waltrop showcases the triumph of these containers, demonstrating how they have made distant regions more accessible yet maintained their distinctiveness. Despite the interconnectedness brought by globalization, differences still persist in local infrastructure, such as rail widths, vehicle steering, and electrical outlets. This highlights the complexities and challenges of a truly globalized world, where convenience coexists with diversity.
