Constantly looking outwards, humans have crossed continents and oceans, invented technological wizardry, created and consumed artwork, even hurled ourselves into outer space. However this seeking instinct means that its always been difficult to focus on what's in front of us, to not be drawn into the pull of 'the new'.

Ancient philosophers wrote of our fondness for novelty and warned of the problems this caused for us. But if the ancients found it tough, what chance do we have? Are we doomed to be stuck in an eternal return of purchasing objects and novelty-seeking online, searching for new information, new items, new news? If there's no off button, if we don't actively use restraint, then the novelty machine that is the internet will consume all our available free time.
