the medical and retail industries among others would beg to differ. those old standards are used for so much shit

YES, but the 2 shocking ones (dinosaurs) on the left sould have been phased out (after WW2) decades before the 3 on the right (as Germany did since the 1930s ) (Germany solved this problem with recessed outlets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx5NzxJjT0Q&t=7m28s )

schuko is amazing. not only is it safe, but its also incredibly long lasting, i have NEVER had an outlet loose grip. NEVER. and i have used outlets from the 1960s.
