COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -Compressed files contain fewer bits of data than uncompressed files. Therefore, it would take one-tenth time to transmit a compressed text file as it would take to transmit that same uncompressed file. That’s why compressing larger files before sending them over the Internet can help you save considerable time.

Detailed explanation-2: -ZIP files encode information into fewer bits by removing redundant data. This “lossless data compression” ensures all the original data is intact.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because zip files are compressed, they take up less disk space. The amount of reduction depends on how compressed the files were before you zipped them, as well as what type of file you are compressing. Creating a zip file lets you to keep files that you do not access daily while taking up less space.

Detailed explanation-4: -Zipped (compressed) files take up less storage space and can be transferred to other computers more quickly than uncompressed files. In Windows, you work with zipped files and folders in the same way that you work with uncompressed files and folders.

Detailed explanation-5: -Compressed files require significantly less storage capacity than uncompressed files, meaning a significant decrease in expenses for storage. A compressed file also requires less time for transfer while consuming less network bandwidth. This can also help with costs, and also increases productivity.
