Number seven might better be described as a non-thing. Seven is the perfect gift for the person who has nothing and doesn't want that state challanged. Some of the features of these, what shall we call them, products(?), are reminiscent of graphical tools of computers back in the early 90's. They were fun too. Then, of course, the point was to use the tool to craft something meaningful.
Here we are not so encumbered. But at least there is a lot to choose from. But if the vacuum of mental space is what you're after and if you are looking to support a surface investigation of others that make the word "depth" itself benthic, then these conveyors of the trite are for you.
they are the toothless mouth, the thoughtless mind(without the zen benefits, not open, just empty) , the plastic play wallet with Monopoly money waiting to be pretend spent. And who could have guessed how many varieties of nothing there could be, much less are.
Can't see how a library would use this which certainly doesn't mean that one wouldn't.
Not sure why an individual would use these, really, can't call them tools, they don't fix or repair, can't call them gadgets, they don't do anything that makes something that was already being done easier or better and they are limited in scope enough to not be interesting. Don't mean to be so harsh. They just come across as sketchy notions that someone thought were fully developed ideas worthy of the effort to cause them to be. They will play well with the vacuous set and certainly the young who have too little experience to know when the cheap is being fobbed off on them. Of course riding that cultural avalanche downhill can be a thrill all its own.
The big bang gave us a universe of nothing and apparently we are racing to meet it head on with our own version of empty. we can give blank verse a whole new meaning; one beyond literature. Thing 7 stands proudly and declares, "there is nothing here so help yourself and have fun."
