Another thing you can't simply find nowadays - old-style separate wiring.
This line still used on the tramway stop for lighting. Each wire has its own rubber insulation and fixed on the steel cable with an own ceramic insulator. Coiled parts should help to avoid cracking the rubber insulation with a strong wind during the cold winter. I think this wiring could be more than fifty years old.

Fully wired homes: could the high-tech home of the future be closer than we think?

All equipment in an enclosed MULTI MEDIA CONTROL CENTRE with dOt sliding doors (designed by Dutch architect Huib van Wijk) but to operate with ONE REMOTE CONTROL:
- Philips 9000 series 3D LED TV. All sound and vision systems are available by using the infotainment on 46" flat screens.
- Samsung BD-C8500 - HDD Combo. It combines two of the hottest home entertainment technologies – Freeview HD and Blu-ray – in a single stylish unit, without compromising on picture quality in either department. We’re also big fans of the feature list, which includes modern must-haves like DLNA networking and Internet access, plus the operating system is top-notch.
- Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station Wifi Router. As with most Apple products - it looks great and it just works. Great range and highly configurable (even allows you to plug in a USB hard drive).
In other words, far from being toys for the boys, smart-home technology makes all our lives more beautiful.
