2. How File Compression Works
"Ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do
for your country."
The quote has 17 words, made up of 61 letters, 16 spaces, one
dash and one period. If each letter, space or punctuation mark
takes up one unit of memory, we get a total file size of 79 units.
To get the file size down, we need to look for redundancies.
Immediately, we notice that:
"ask" appears two times
"what" appears two times
"your" appears two times
"country" appears two times
"can" appears two times
"do" appears two times
"for" appears two times
"you" appears two times
3. How Internet Searching Works
●They search the Internet – or
select pieces of the Internet --
based on important words.
●They keep an index of the
words they find, and where they
find them.
●They allow users to look for
words or combinations of words
found in that index.
4. How Agents Work

unattractive assessment.
Booking agents work in
the middle ground
between artists their fans.
