@Dashrender I have the same thoughts but I think these things make more sense for apartment dwellers.
That's what I was thinking. Places where you don't have the option to hide things like apartments.
Which is a lot of people. Owning a house is only for something like 50% of the population. And for some reason, there is some weird cultural thing that I've found that non-technical people seem to love having gadgets and cables laying all over the place, no idea why. Maybe they think "tech guts" look cool? Technical people, like @Dashrender and myself, seem to almost always want technology's underpinnings to be hidden and out of the way. TVs on walls, cables in walls, APs mounted, servers hidden, cabling plants in back closets. @Texkonc just bought a new house and had to have custom work done to have all of his cabling and gear stored out of site. Every new construction I see designs the houses to have all technology just out in the middle of the living room like it's the center of display.
Ya I don't understand that either. Even when we had an apartment I did as much as possible to hide everything but they always ran the cable right through the middle of the wall somewhere.
Because you are techie... you don't like tech all around the place.

So the 70's and 80's are back where people want to have a glass wall on there datacenter so they can give tours of all the blinking lights.
Only now it's in the middle of their living room. LOL -
Nope, I don't even like the APs hanging on the ceilings (other then for necessity). I want all technology hidden away where possible.
