eli5: Why do most airlines still use 2-pin audio jacks for the in-flight entertainment systems on their planes?
In: 600
People don’t realize just how old these airline jets actually are. I’m sure 2-pin audio jacks was cutting edge technology when they were first put in. I had it explained to me once that the interior of the starship USS Enterprise from Star Trek: The Next Generateion was heavily inspired by the Boeing 747 (which had a lifespan between 1968 and 2022). That’s saying alot considering that Next Generation came out in 1987.
