But the version that can uncompress that which is compressed

"Does everyone remember Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Towards the end of the movie, Wonka unveils “Wonka Vision” in which he physically compresses a massive chocolate bar with an oversized camera and sends it over wavelengths to a Wonka Vision on the other end, where it re-appears as a regular-sized and edible chocolate bar. It needed to be large because “whenever you transmit something like television, it always ends up smaller on the other end.”

It’s interesting to note that even in a place as fantastical as Wonka’s chocolate factory, they were hamstrung by the need to compress. But wouldn’t life have been simpler if he could just transport the chocolate bar in its native form?"
