阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

While it takes time, energy and money that could surely be put to a much more productive use, there are millions of collectors around the world. People collect postcards, chocolate wrappers or whatever they like. Collecting must be one of the most varied human activities, and it’s one that many psychologists find fascinating. Many forms of collecting have been dignified with a technical name: an arctophilist collects teddy bears, a philatelist collects postage stamps and a deltiologist collects postcards.

There are people who collect something because they want to make money, and this could be called an instrumental reason for collecting, that is, collecting as a means to an end. They will look for, say, antiques (古董) that they can buy cheaply and expect to be able to sell at a profit. But there may well be a psychological factor too: buying cheap and selling dear can keep the collector a sense of achievement. And as selling online is so easy, more people are joining in.

If you think about collecting postage stamps, another potential reason for it is its educational value. Stamp collecting opens a window to other countries and to the plants, animals or famous people shown on the stamps. Similarly, in the nineteenth century many collectors amassed (积累) animals and plants from around the globe and their collections provide a vast amount of information about the natural world. Without those collections, our understanding would be greatly inferior to what it is.

Not all collectors are interested in learning from their hobby, though, so what we might call a psychological reason for collecting is the need for a sense of control and a sense of fulfillment, perhaps as a way of dealing with insecurity. Stamp collectors, for instance, arrange their stamp albums, usually very neatly, organizing their collections according to certain commonplace principles — perhaps by country in alphabetic order or grouping stamps by what they describe — people, birds, maps and so on.
