I don't see how, the modem, speakers and monitor are all now plugged
into this socket via the 4-way adapter and so presumably all protected. 
Anyway I think most cases don't have this type of protection.

No he still has 3, it's just a different 3. Now the computer is straight 
into the wall and the 4-way is into the back of the computer with 3 
things (modem, speakers and monitor) into it. The advantage is that now 
he just has to flick the switch on the front of the computer to turn 
everything off, before he had to either switch off at the wall (switch 
probably low down behind desk) or turn off the computer, modem and 
speakers separately.
