The SmartSocket you'll never have (or use)

Sure, it's just a concept, and sure, we're not entirely positive what it would do, but wouldn't it be nice? 
Your wall plates at home would have an integrated hard drive, USB headers, and apparently coax. We're guessing the premise is that you could just have interchangeable home entertainment equipment that would all pull off of this, you know, keep it simple. But we can't help but asking, where's the Ethernet? Oh, yeah, wait, we're supposed to be wireless by the time this would come out, the year 2154 (so, uh, why the coax, then?).
