Back in 1991 I head about Apple coming out with Firewire. They talking about it being the only interface including Monitors, TV's, Drives, Keyboards, Mice, Headphones, Speakers, even Networking. That was back when fast ethernet was 10mb and wifi did not exist.
Video is the worst. TVs have S video, Component, Composite, coax, HDMI, and monitors have DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, HDMI, video . . . The thing you want to plug in never has the same port as the thing you want to plug it into, and if you want to plug in two things you're always out of luck. It's a jumble and I really hope it gets fixed.
