Knowing What You've Got... And What You've Don't Got

If I were to ask just a random person on the street about Monster cable, they probably would have heard of them. They are a well marketed company that produces a lot of cables. They also produce various portable music player accessories, kits, and their price tag implies top quality stuff. Many people swear by them, others would rather just buy bulk and be done with it.

Now, if I were to ask those same random people on the street, whether they have heard of Blue Jeans Cable, they would probably not have. However, they are also a fine provider of quality cables, and are actually well covered in the audiophile world.

Both companies make cables for rather standard ports and connections. Sure, there are differences here and there, but for the most part, most of the proprietary stuff is specific to how the companies produce their cables, compositions, etc.

Whether in the workplace, at home, or just when you're out and about, communicating is a key part of life. And it seems that the majority of people take a pretty laid back approach to it.

Learning to talk as a child is hard. But it was only one of a few things that truly occupied your attention. Learning to talk as a teen is hard. But that is because of the social and cultural pressures that are present. Learning to talk as an adult is hard. This is due to the fact that we are busy with so many other things.

So, when do we really learn to talk? To communicate?  read more »
