#Compression

Data compression is like a spell that crams infinite information into a tiny box. The compressed file looks light, yet at the moment of decompression it mocks the user by regaining its original bulk. This lazy magician modestly saves space but inevitably expands somewhere to seize the opportunity. The truth hidden under the name of convenience is a battle between compression ratio and time, in which defeat is often suffered. Indeed, the only thing lightened is the mirage of reduced size.
