Why do we need to disconnect a computer?
It depends on what situation you are talking about. If you are referring to say lightning storms, you need to disconnect the power cord to prevent the possibility of lightning striking the line and sending a surge into your system. A lightning surge can be lethal to most systems. BTW, the power cord is the most obvious but any connection to the 'outside' is vulnerable. For instance, a phone cord can be a conduit for lightning if that line is struck. I have known people to disconnect the computer but not the monitor. When the lightning struck the power line the surge went through the monitor to fry the motherboard. Another disconnect scenario would be for instance if you were being actively attacked by a virus or hacker. Disconnecting the network/modem cable will generally stop the attack; unless of course the virus has already downloaded itself onto your hard drive and is attacking from within.

Why does a Power Strip have cable attachments?
It is a separate component and is used for grounding only. Usually on a TV or electronic power strip for convenience. Most likely the power strip has built-in surge suppression. It is designed to disconnect the load, like your TV, from an over-voltage surge such as could happen during a lightening strike. The in and out cable connectors provide the same type of surge protection from a high voltage that may be induced on the antenna or cable source for the TV during a lightening strike.
Why does your 2002 Taurus surge when you put defroster on?
The defrost function uses the A/C system to help draw humidity from the car. The air conditioning system draws its power from the engine. If it overdraws because it is low on refrigerant or other A/C problems it causes the engine to surge to compensate for the required power. Have your A/C serviced or disconnect your A/C from your car.
