I'm not sure why I like collections of things--sets of artifacts of the same sort of category. It's even better when these artifacts are very pedestrian and don't have a particularly significant or well-recognized existence on their own. For example:

I wonder what it would be like to collect a set of digital objects. Buttons[7], for example.
