DC means direct current it is needed for practically all electronic components in Computers,gaming machines and I pod's etc

AC arrives at the house from the Grid and is changed to DC in the plug top power units supplied with each gadget. I am afraid the term grid escapes you. The GRID refers to transmission from generation throughout the USA not a local distribution. Not all gadgets requires DC some actually are happy with AC.
