For example, the wiring in your car, between the switch to lower the window and the motor that makes it happen. What if some day that is all on a wireless system and doesn't need someone to physically run a wire from the switch to the motor? Even in large quantities, the cost of wireless transmitters and receivers needs to come down. The fewer the wires we have to deal with in general, the better. Something like this could also be applied to home theater equipment - maybe someday you'll just have to have the equipment in the same room as your TV, and it will automatically configure everything over wireless networks. As in, all you would have to do is get power to the devices, no video cables, no audio cables, etc. I was thinking the other day – wireless communication will really have taken off when internal wiring is more expensive than wireless equipment.
