>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?
