It isn't easy to visualize what the elements on the Periodic Table represent in our daily lives, and ask most people which household items have Boron, Cadmium or Indium in them and they'll just shrug their shoulders.
Boeing software engineer and graphic designer Keith Enevoldsen created this Periodic Table Of Elements, In Pictures And Words so we can easily connect the dots between the elements and stuff we use every day.
I would not be surprised if Keith's illustrated Periodic Table replaces the standard Periodic Table in the classroom, because it lets you see that Boron is in tennis rackets, Cadmium is in paint and Indium is in LCD displays at a glance.

I had no idea so many elements were being used for everyday things! I was a little disappointed that Bismuth wasn't illustrated with Pepto-Bismol.
