What do you like about this subject?

I'm an information junkie and just love all the information at our fingertips with the internet. I did find it a bit too much in the beginning, but now I know how to find exactly what I'm looking for through years of experience and a few favorite sites.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I expect I'll enjoy the internet's wealth of information the rest of my life. It's an educational tool, the best reference tool I've seen and fun as well.
