Full-duplex is Different From Full HD TV (FHD)

Walking from one place to another and returning to the original place on the same day is not full-duplex; it's half-duplex.

Why?

  • In full-duplex communication, both directions are active simultaneously (like talking on a phone where both people can speak at once).
  • In this case, you are walking to Zabok first and then back to Zagreb—these actions happen sequentially, not at the same time. This is analogous to half-duplex, where one direction is active at a time (like using a walkie-talkie, where you take turns speaking).

When Would It Be Full-Duplex?

  • If you could walk to Zabok and back at the same time, which is physically impossible.
  • If you had a clone and one of you walked to Zabok while the other walked back to Zagreb.
  • If you walked on a treadmill in Zagreb that was synchronized with another person walking to Zabok, simulating simultaneous movement.
  • If you used teleportation, instantly appearing in Zabok and Zagreb at the same time.

So standard travaling remains half-duplex. 😆

Half-duplex is a type of communication where data (or action) flows in both directions, but only one direction at a time. It’s like taking turns instead of talking at the same time.

Examples of Half-Duplex Systems

  1. Walkie-Talkies 📡

    • You press a button to speak, then release it to listen.
    • Only one person can talk at a time.
  2. Old CB Radios 🚛

    • Truckers say “Over” to signal they’re done talking.
    • The other person then responds.
  3. Railway System on a Single Track 🚆

    • If a train is going one way, another train must wait until the track is clear.
  4. Pedestrian Bridges with One Lane 🌉

    • If a person is crossing, others must wait before walking in the opposite direction.
  5. Journey to Zabok and Back 🚶‍♂️

    • You go to Zabok first, then return to Zagreb.
    • You can’t do both at the same time—so it’s half-duplex!

Comparison: Full-Duplex vs. Half-Duplex


Feature Full-Duplex 📞 Half-Duplex 🎤
Direction Both ways at the same time One way at a time
Example Phone call ☎️ Walkie-talkie 🎙️
Efficiency Faster, no waiting Slower, since it alternates

Is There a Way to Make Walking Full-Duplex?

  • If you had two bodies—one going to Zabok while the other returns. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑
  • If you used VR to "walk" in both places at once. 🤖
  • If you had a quantum twin entangled with you. 🧑‍🔬

Walk - proudly half-duplex! 😆
