Novelty becomes commonplace becomes cast aside for the next "wow" innovation...
Well, novelty may be a question of time scale. Something novel could become a useful tool in the long run. When it came out some folks thought the Galaxy Note's pen was a novelty, now many can't live without it. Its been around 8 years. Come to think of it, the human race is kind of a novelty on a cosmic time scale. Something akin to a fad, it will soon be gone as a short lived cosmic blunder.

Edit: I don't actually believe the last sentence. Just added it for dramatic effect!!
