Junk. It\\u2019s everywhere. From island-sized floating masses of garbage to the thousands of tons of space debris found in low orbit, mankind has left its permanent mark on planet Earth. As junk is generated as a byproduct of consumerism, the debris left behind by satellites, or the inefficient data-grabbing of companies; we are faced with mountains of waste every day.

\\xa0

The question then is, how should we tackle this junk problem? Similarly, how should companies handle the acquisition and exchange of data? In the information age, the ever-increasing volume of data is proving to be a challenge within the data marketplace.\\xa0

In this episode, Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby discuss human junk and its effect on our evolution.

The Self-Destructive Situation of Our Space Debris

\\xa0

There are a hundred million pieces of debris found in Earth\\u2019s low orbit. Each of those are only larger than a millimeter. That may sound harmless, but the environment is different in outer space. Up there, there\\u2019s barely any friction or gravity, which allows the individual pieces to speed up at around 17,500 miles per hour.

\\xa0

And so, a tiny piece of junk floating around can cause large amounts of damage to any equipment unfortunate enough to get hit. A bigger yet obvious problem is the difficulty with which people can repair damages, as it\\u2019s hard to even reach the damaged equipment.

\\xa0

As of the year 2020, there are currently 3,372 active satellites in orbit. Now, the US Regulatory has already permitted SpaceX from launching satellites, of which they plan to launch 42,000 of them. This will only increase the risk of important satellites and instruments from being damaged.

\\xa0

The International Space Station has even had near-miss events because of space debris, which cements it as a real problem with real consequences. Obviously, this isn\\u2019t the problem of the ISS alone.

Humanity\\u2019s Junk and Its Effects on Our Evolution

\\xa0

Junk has become such a prevalent issue around the world, and yet we don\\u2019t even consider why it exists in the first place. We create plastic and other pollutants for commercial goods, without taking into account what happens to it after it is thrown away.

\\xa0

Ever since humans have developed technology, we created this mentality of not caring about the aftermath of our actions. Which, in turn, has created all this junk and waste around us, which is hindering our evolution as a society.

\\xa0

This isn\\u2019t to say that we are unaware of our predicament. However, the way we try and solve this problem is by simply going around the junk. For example, instead of trying to get rid of space debris, they instead designed better spacecraft to withstand the high-speed debris that crashes into our satellites.

\\xa0

In addition to humanity\\u2019s indirect approach towards junk, our pre-existing systems are open and do not take into account the amount of waste that will inevitably get created. Because of the open systems that society has relied upon, we are continuously burying ourselves beneath our waste.

\\xa0

As an example of society\\u2019s indirectness towards problems, picture this scenario. A child is left in their car seat as the parents go inside the store. The parents are reliant on the car\\u2019s system, that it will provide AC and therefore keep the child cool. However, what happens when the AC malfunctions? We could design a camera to observe, but that\\u2019s simply an indirect fix.

\\xa0

Instead of simply going to the root of the problem and simply bringing the child along, the parents create complicated measures.\\xa0

TARTLE\\u2019s Mission to Eradicate Junk Data

\\xa0

Junk is everywhere, and yet it is simply tolerated. Instead of finding roundabout ways to avoid junk, we should instead focus our efforts on it. Focusing on it gives humanity a deep understanding of the cause and effect of junk, and how we can eliminate it.

Within the data marketplace, TARTLE is cleaning up data for buyers and sellers alike, creating order and organization from piles upon piles of junk data. TARTLE is creating a closed system with no waste, making it efficient and precise. www.tartle.co

TCAST is brought to you by TARTLE. A global personal data marketplace that allows users to sell their personal information anonymously when they want to, while allowing buyers to access clean ready to analyze data sets on digital identities from all across the globe.
