>You could type it in in compressed format.

Hmmm.  But then it wouldn't come back out properly the next time I want to view it (uncompressed) on the screen, or print it on my printer.  And as for the programs on my hard drive, well they simply wouldn't run if I typed them in in a compressed format.  And that's just one application of data compression.  How can I compress my speech to get more telephone calls along a single cable?
