The future of residential building electrical installations

This is a spin-off from the discussion What is the best way to wire ceiling lights.


What do you think is the future of residential building electrical installations in 20 to 30 years time? Will they in modern and modernised houses be significantly different from what they are today or will they most likely be barely changed from what they are today?


Will consumer demand be a driving force for change or will electricians only make changes from the status quo in order to comply with updated wiring regs?

    Whilst "standing charges" for energy have been decried in some of the previous posts, no one appears to object to the phoneline rental nor the TV package service from above that could be £60/month.....................




    The Scottish Socialist Party (then run by Tommy Sheridan) had a policy of abolishing line rental charges for landline phones, but did not mention anything about mobile phone tariffs. This was at the time when an increasing number of people were replacing their landlines either with mobiles on tariffs that provided a large unmetered phone time allowance for a monthly standing charge, or for low users mobiles on a pay as you go tariff with no standing charges, as it was becoming cheaper (and more convenient) than a landline.


    It was joked that the Scottish Socialist Party was the 0141 party.
