How many new houses are built with electronic, keyless gadgets?
Having them go away for the millions of houses built over the last century? How long would that realistically take? What's the incentive? Keys are an example of old tech that works great. Digital doors only have small advantages over keyed doors.
Now think, how about re-wiring every house door for electricity. The cost of adding keyless entry - mechanical/electrical door lock. Think about a secondary access method for when there's no power.
This tech isn't cheap, it would be expensive to back-install, and it's not even being installed in NEW houses now. Why on earth would anyone think house keys are on their way out this decade?
