pdiddles03 is an unknown quantity at this point
point of objects

So, I am reading the book, "eloquent Javascript" and it must say it is a very poorly written book. It doesn't explain as to why things work the way they do in javascript and just basically says, "do this" and thats it. But that's beside the point.

What is the point of objects? all to often, I find tutorials, and other things about beginners guides on how to do things, but many of them (99.9999% of them) don't tell you what it can be used for. I had this trouble with arrays.

Can someone enlighten me to what the point of objects are? Please don't just tell me, "they ar a type of value where properties can be freely added, removed, or changed". Give me a eveyrday language type of explanation.
