Wire less or more?

I had a fairly heated argument today with my cousin about the future of wireless technologies, from what's just around the corner and far into the future. It was the recent news report about wireless energy sources which kicked this off.

The opposing point was wireless will and should be used for everything. I guess the point I wanted to make was it should only be used when it is best.

Say for example that my floor/dining table/laptop were coupled using some magnetic induction technology for power distribution, that sounds really cool to me but also it seems a complete waste when I have a socket under the table. A system that could perhaps switch 'power cells' on the floor to only transmit power in certain locales would help with this I suppose.

My concerns are:
a) Living (or dying?) in a constant high energy fluctuating magnetic field
b) People leeching my power from the side of my house
c) Complete and utter waste of energy during transfer

I think I'm going to go sketch my future house out...

Crash, out...
