: Since ethernet is so fast and has so much range, why isn’t it used everywhere ?

Question

Edit : For wired connections such as videos, or anything that needs a high bandwidth

Answer 1

Ethernet plugs are a poor design for anything that needs to be plugged and unplugged regularly such as monitors and docking stations used by laptops (hell I’ve destroyed a bunch using them for internet for my laptop), the cables themselves are a poor design for anything that needs to be carefully timed such as audio and video, and using identical wiring for every function is just a *bad* design from a UX standpoint.
