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?

I thought MK had a USB socket that did exactly that (perhaps the modular version to be clipped into Euro frontplates rather than incorporated into a 13A socket) - so the technology is certainly there. Would be popular with electricians too, since it doesn't mess up insulation tests.

When you find out the price of the modular one that does switch off, you'll see why people go for the two for £15 offer for two double socket-outlets at Nailfix etc.......
