Compression and copy…

July 31, 2008
So i was installing Windows Vista on my computer and I noticed it said “Copying Files” followed by “Expanding files”

Now i know its nothing and for everyone who has installed Windows Vista its nothing, but i began to think about thos two statements in a very… odd way. Imagine you were a file on a CD, you lived in a compressed file structure, so imagine a bunch of people all next to each other in a very tight place, shoulder to shoulder. Thats how the files are arranged in a CD. Now when you are being “copied” you might feel like you’re about to be freed, let loos from your tight prison, but you’re not. What actually happens is that a copy of you gets freed from your compressed prison and you stay for as long as that CD stays intact, tramped in a compression chamber, never to experience what it is to be free.

Very freaky way of picturing once excistance…=P
