Summary: copper, silicon


These days it just doesn't pay to run 25-wire cable to every room in the house.
Just run two wires and use electronics to do the rest.  Or better yet, use
wires already in place -- power, telephone, cable-TV cables.  (Of course this
is the idea behind the X-10 system.)  Remember:  Silicon is cheaper than
copper!
