When I was setting up my Tridef player to watch 3d movies, I got so frustrated with conflicting codecs- audio and video - in both software and hardware.
By definition, a codec is a device or computer program capable of encoding and/or decoding a digital data, stream or signal. So, if you have various software installed in your computer, it means that there are several audio and/or video codecs in there.
Conflicting codecs. It's like the way spouses, lovers, parents and children communicate with each other these days. There are conflicting codes, conflicting language, and conflicting gestures.
Ever talked to your daughter about her boyfriend? Or to your mate about domestic cleanliness? Or to your girlfriend/boyfriend about old flames or future plan(s)?
I bet, most of the time, both of you are in conflicting codecs - simply don't understand what the other is talking about.
The daughter rolls her eyes; the husband plugs ears with ear phones instead of getting out his tool; the wife bangs close the toilet lid while he's still mid-stream; the boyfriend thinks trash and the girlfriend talks about tennis. The mate talks about frozen goodies, the other thinks about frozen babies.
Better to get the act straightened out. Talking in riddles were funny when we were young.
Codes were useful during the 1940's war. Shortened text or instant messaging are at best, both a boon or a bust. Even poetry can be archaic.
One of the best selling resource speakers is Anthony Robbins. He gets away with being big in words and concepts because he peddles a step-by-step book and audio tapes. Clear for those who want to believe in his wares.
Verdict: I am guilty on certain counts.
