Some master the art of dance. Some master the art of works. Others vacuum.

Oh, sure, we revere those who create, but what about those who clean the detritus left behind? Without them, we'd have no "blank canvas" on which to work. Imagine, for example, a world with no Dyson vacuums. We think it would look something... like this:

OH HOW TERRIBLE LOOK AT ALL THESE PILES OF DUST ON MY SCULPTING TOOLS

YES MY FRIEND IT IS INDEED A DISASTER AND ALSO MY PAINTBRUSHES ARE OVER THERE COVERED IN MARBLE DUST FROM THAT JERKFACE THE SCULPTOR

HEY DON'T LOOK AT ME I CAN'T GET TO MY TINY BRUSH AS THESE HUGE TUMBLEWEEDS MADE FROM ANIMAL HAIR HAVE COVERED IT

ART IS DEAD BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE TO CLEAN UP THE MESSES WE ALL CREATE WHILE MAKING OUR MASTERPIECES

WOE

WOE

It's a harsh but bitter truth. Without the clean up process, can there truly be art?

Maybe you've walked the length of the Earth. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW.

Right now, right this VERY second, you can find out all sorts of fictional data. How wide is Downton Abbey? How many steps between the Enterprise's bridge and the captain's quarters? How far to walk from the sweet shoppes of Central London to your bedroom in Hufflepuff? We can and have calculated all these things. But can you tell us how many steps you've walked today?

We're in a data-powered world, kids. Get a Fitbit and you can control that data yourself. You'll know on what day you walked the equivalent distance of a walk from Jabba's Palace to the Sarlacc Pit and on what day you took as many steps as Bruce Lee took in the Game Of Death in Game Of Death.

It's a heck of a lot better than wasting that brain space with crap like the periodic table.
