Bordem drives curiosity.

I started reading 'Isaac Asimov's Guide to Science 1 The physical Sciences' Today:
This fascinated me, he writes:
"There comes a point where the capacity to receive, store, and interpret messages from the outside world may outrun sheer necessity. An organism may for a moment be sated with food, and there may, at the moment be no danger in sight. what does it do then?"
 He then goes on to say that a human being ... "has an intense and overwhelming curiosity." a desire to know.
Either on how to make things more useful, or how to make things look aesthetically more pleasing or a need to learn.

In other words bordem drives curiosity and from this ... invention, art or further knowledege acquisition.
Mmmm....
