Why electricity?

Is there a case for returning (at least partially) back to pre-electrical devices that allow us to see clearly how energy is used and translated? I am thinking here about water wheels and wind turbines... What could we now do with a bit of clever engineering and modern materials? provide power for washing machines, dishwashers, tumbledryers?...What kind of interesting designs could we imagine for new product types independent of electricity?
