John La Grou dévoile une nouvelle technologie ingénieuse qui va rendre les prises électriques de nos foyers intelligentes par le moyen de microprocesseurs et de marqueurs d'identification par radiofréquence. Grâce à cette invention appelée « Safeplug » (prise sécuritaire), des accidents mortels tels que des incendies résidentiels seront évités et des économies d'énergie seront réalisées.
