The humanity is really missing a standard 5/12V power bus.
When I think about how many transformators we are having on a standard desktop in office its just redicolous. I'd really whish for some 5/12V sockets in the wall, and 1 big 230AC -> 5/12V DC transformator in cellar. Im sure the increased power-loss in the cables in the walls due to the lower voltage and thus higher current (R*I^2) is by far compensated by not having dozends and dozends of little transformators online all the time, everyone with its own powerloss.
Its just so strange every little electronic device has to come with an adaptor to the 230V bus... which is usefull for high-energy-usage devices, but not at all for electronics.
