Literally, someone who "loves" the "new".  In other words, a person who views change (in the things affecting their own life) as broadly a good thing.  Contrast with NeoPhobe.

Of course, nobody is 100% one way or the other, and people may well be NeoPhilic in one aspect of their life while NeoPhobic? in others.  But the general concept can be useful.

Not be be confused with EarlyAdopter?, which is a subclass (NeoPhile with MoneyToBurn?).

NeoPhile?  That'd be Trinity then? -- Senji
Groan.  Took me a while to get that.  There are of course a variety of other interpretations of the word.  But the above is the only one I've ever heard anybody use.  --AlexChurchill
