FiveThirtyEight's "What's the Point" podcast recently had an episode mostly devoted to the Bloomberg Terminal. I found it fascinating. I would have never known it had its own sections/apps/services for travel booking, classified ads, chat, etc. It would be so fun to poke around at one in real life.

If you're in New York, I'm pretty sure the library has a few terminals.
