802.3bt and the next few years

802.3bt is still relatively new, and not really worth it JUST for 802.3bt, and because not many client devices support it, or they require injectors which is pointless if you want a full switch to power up say laptops

What do you think the future will hold, say regarding power? Would we need even more switch capacity to just power up our monitors, laptops, TVs etc.. via the network - Essentially getting rid of additional power sources, and no longer needing plug sockets

We (as as a society) use PoE for phones a lot, and in a way that's slowly going away given softphones are getting better, and we also have IP cameras which aren't going to go away any time soon. Would we end up doing the same for other client devices?
