Humans have a pretty infinite ability to fill time, and to always find something new they "should" be doing. Early household cleaning appliances like the vacuum sold on promises of freeing up housewife's time to do other things, but people spend just as long cleaning their houses now as they did pre vacuum.

We just sort of... do things, and it's very difficult to map the relationship between an object and its impact on how much time we spend interacting with it
