Though my poems are about evenly split between traditionally formal work that uses rhyme and meter and classical structure, and work that is freer, I feel that the music of language remains at the core of it all. Sound, rhythm, repetition, compression - these elements of my poetry are also elements of my prose.

American Poet

Eric Schmidt

If you look at the history of technology over a couple hundred years, it's all about time compression and making the globe smaller. It's had positive effects, all the ones that we know. So we're much less likely to have the kind of terrible misunderstandings that led to World War I, for example.

American Businessman

Kenneth Lonergan

I've just always been interested in alter-naturalism and seeing if you can make real life interesting enough to be dramatic without enhancing it. Like, could you make a movie or write a play in which there's no compression of time, there's no enhanced event, it's just real life?

American Playwright

Ross Levinsohn

My concern is the really great concepts that are features, not companies. There isn't enough advertising to support all those features, and in compression times, advertisers tend to flock to safe names and sites that have real traction.

David Shields

So many of the things I talk about in 'Reality Hunger' seem to be the things that 'The Thing About Life' does - things like risk, contradiction, compression, mixing modes of attack from the memoristic gesture to data-crunching.

American Author

Gary Bettman

While players say they like the five-day break, they're also saying they don't like the compression that goes along with it, and that's something that is of great concern to us as well.

Iris Chang

When you take something extremely broad, then it is not a work of expansion or work of compression. It's hard because you have to decide what to throw out.

I'm very attracted to poetry for all the reasons someone likes poetry. The notion of compression seems to fit my personality.

After my first day of competition I put on compression socks. They help me recover for the next day.

There is no compression algorithm for experience.

Compression means physically squeezing, often to fit something into a smaller space.

Physical Process

Compression doesn't just apply to solid objects; invisible gases and liquids can also be compressed.

Not Always Visible

Sometimes 'compression' is used in a non-physical sense, like squeezing words for a summary.

Metaphorical Use

In engines, compression is used to make the fuel-air mix explode better, improving power.

Engine Efficiency

The word 'compression' in mechanical contexts refers to something specific and technical.

Technical Context

In technology, compression makes files smaller, so they take up less digital space or transfer faster.

Digital Efficiency

Some data compression reduces file quality (lossy), while others keep it the same (lossless).

Quality Trade-Off

Medically, compression controls bleeding or reduces swelling, aiding in recovery.

Healing Aid

You might encounter medical compression in everyday items like tight stockings or sports bandages.

Everyday Usage

 Are there men around that table? Are there moms who've raised boys around that table? You'll see, the conversation changes depending upon who's sitting around the table. Third reason that boys are out of sync with school Kindergarten is the old second grade, folks. We have a serious compression of the curriculum happening out there.

Ali Carr-Chellman:...

 There's always a catch. So when you compress that, the plasma cools down faster than the compression speed, so you're trying to compress it, but the plasma cooled down and cooled down and cooled down and then it did absolutely nothing. So when I saw that, I said, well, this is such a shame,

 And this happens across scales. The silkworm first attaches itself to the environment -- it creates a tensile structure -- and it then starts spinning a compressive cocoon. Tension and compression, the two forces of life, manifested in a single material.
