Hal, I think you are partially correct in your observations. However I meet with a group and at the University regarding what used to be called "smart houses". Many persons my age (73) aren't much into modern technology as I am but the surprise is the extent folks are wiring their "tract houses". Even those in apartments are going wireless to a great extent. Try attending a class, or preferably a tech meeting, at a nearby University and I believe you will be pleasantly suprised by what the younger generation perceives in the future of home high tech.
