Dopamine

A seeking-and-reward neurochemical (the one that is most closely linked to focus and motivation).

A hormone that can cause addition.

Often linked with seeing something novel. Exploited by Social Media and Slack, and anything with a Newsfeed or notifications.

Smartphones are often a huge source of it, but also just technology in general.
