History
In our increasingly digital world, where data flows seamlessly through networks, fills vast
storage repositories, and powers the applications we use daily, efficiency becomes
paramount. Imagine a universe where every piece of information, from a simple text
document to a high-definition video, occupies vast amounts of space, slowing down
transfers and straining network bandwidth. This is where the art of data compression
comes into play.
Think of it as the difference between carrying a backpack filled with individual bricks
versus carrying that same weight in a neatly compacted, compressed form. Data
compression performs this digital alchemy, allowing us to transport, store, and retrieve
information with greater speed, economy, and overall efficiency
