How our possessions seem to grow

I used to have one red box which contained all my USB cords and cables.I decided to make life easier by separating the ones with plugs on [chargers] from the ones without.Now I have two boxes which both seem full.I’d better not get 4 boxes to divide these up or by Xmas I might have 256! [2 to the power 8]
That could be catastrophic in my  living room
