I wrote an article called Clip, Collect, and Share last week in response to a question I get a lot: “do people really collect?”
Summary - no surprise - is that I view collecting as a basic human behavior. Perhaps even an instinct? And while most of us are fortunate not to have to collect roots and berries for sustenance any more, we collect physical things and information like never before.
The more interesting question perhaps is what do we do with all the things we gather and collect?
