Wireless electricity?!?!

I have heard of this news a few years back that scientists are trying to distribute electricity wirelessly. I told myself that if this happens, it would be a great comfort to us all, but imagine, what if those electrical charges pass through human beings? Would they get electrocuted? hehe just a thought.
