There are hundreds of thousands pieces of man-made material currently in orbit. A few thousand of them are actual useful satellites, things that we want to have up there; stuff like GPS satellites, communications satellites, weather observation stations, the International Space Station, and of course, DirecTV satellites.
Most of them are "space junk"; satellites that have failed, or broken, or out of fuel. Old booster rocket engines. Collision debris, from when the Chinese shot down a satellite and smashed it into 100,000 pieces of litter in orbit, or when one of the Iridium satellites crashed into a Russian reconnaissance bird.
