Imagine this.

You have a garden, and you’ve spent years growing apple trees. You harvest the beautiful juicy red fruits every season.

And then, you leave them.

You don’t eat them. You have so many of them. You don’t know what to do with them. You’re not even sure if you like apples, and no one else wants them either. They rot away in your basket every time, but, for some reason, you keep harvesting and keep growing.

Sounds like a waste of time right? You would never do something like that!

Then, why would you do the same with your data?
