If Internet cables can carry a lot of data per second, why won’t these cables replace HDMI/VGA/DVI standards?
In: Technology
* There are already lots of different types of “Internet cables”.
* If we got to chose which one should replace HDMI, which one should we pick?”
* Fiber Optics can carry huge amounts of data super fast, should we choose that?
* It’s very expensive so maybe not.
* How about coaxial cable?
* Funny thing is was used to use that for video way before HDMI.
* We used it for antennas and also for “cable TV” from the cable company.
* In fact that’s why it’s called “cable”.
* So should we go back?
* No the pins in the middle are easy to break if you’re not careful and the cables are thick and harder to tuck behind TVs.
* What about Ethernet cable?
* We could but many laptops are too thin now for those large connectors
* And also the tables on those tend to break.
* What about USB?
* That’s actually a good choice and eventually what we’ll be using.
