Given the almost constant access to the facts of the world, what is the function of knowing trivia?
One element of creativity is combining two or more different ideas (e.g., someone was the first person to put peanut butter and chocolate together for the eternal betterment of the world). The free recall of facts and figures is grist for that creative mill.
Trivia can be the start but is never the finish.
