Ethernet Cables Are Still the Best Way To Connect to the Internet

WiFi may be the most convenient way to connect to the internet but it's not the most reliable or the fastest. Which is why ethernet cables still have a place in our lives because having a hard connection would make sure that the signals from your modem to your computer are stable and strong.

Still, the fact of the matter is that a wired connection is still objectively better for just about anything that requires an internet connection. Sometimes the benefits are subtle, but sometimes they're life-changing. 
For example, WiFi is notoriously fickle. Thick walls and metal objects can totally throw off the signal emanating from your router and turn what should be a perfectly connected household into a depressing dead zone.

Absolutely.
Everything here except the Nintendo Switch and TV are hooked up via Ethernet cables. My next purchase for networking is going to be a 10 gigabit Ethernet switch.
