I live in a "developing" nation where the old, unsafe, round prong plugs are still in use and unfortunately the majority of the populatiuon here would not be able to afford new sockets and plugs if it were ever changed. I do agree that a verticle plug and socket would be more efficient though. This is quite brilliant.
