If you\u2019ve ever wondered whether cloud creep, interoperability promises, and subscription pricing are solving real problems or just creating newer, dumber ones, this one\u2019s for you. Then the panel gets into one of higher ed AV\u2019s favorite recurring fights: why everyone thinks classroom tech should cost about $600, why \u201cjust throw a TV on the wall\u201d is never the simple solution people think it is, and how furniture somehow always gets approved before the technology that makes the room actually work.&amp;nbsp; Along the way, they also wander into lecterns, teaching stations, and the usual AV nerd arguing over boxes, desks, and support standards like civilization depends on it.
