What are the dangers of space junk?

Everything is attracted to everything else by gravity. So, over time, space junk will attract other space junk and join with it. This larger amount of space junk could potentially come closer and closer to Earth (as the force of gravity on it is now greater, and with a greater mass it becomes more difficult to keep it in orbit). Eventually it might crash into the Earth, conditional on not burning up in the atmosphere. The orbit of space junk could bring it in contact with, destroy and make space junk of, commuication satellites, probes, telescopes etc.
