Homes Should Have 12 Volt DC Outlets Too

Almost all electronic devices use low voltage DC power, so we should have DC outlets in our homes too.
If you're like me, you've got tons of awkward AC/DC power adapters all over your house. That's because electronic devices don't use AC power, and they certainly don't require 120 volts.
Even the devices that don't have an external AC Adapter have some form of bulky power supply inside them that takes up unnecessary space and generates heat. The solution would be for homes to have a secondary DC power system which supply DC power just for electronic devices.
This would eliminate the need for all those bulky power adapters, and make man electronic devices smaller. Most devices need less than 12 volts, so that should be the starting point. The system should be based on 12 volts, and devices that require less than that could easily step down the voltage from there without adding any additional bulk.
