I am somewhat of a polymath, but a narrowly focused one, in that most of my skills solely apply to computers, and very little else. But then you may ask: computers are a broad topic: how does one ever conquer the subject and attain mastery of it?

My answer is simple: the world of computers is an endless one, a gigantic rabbit-hole (especially when combined with The Internet). Being able to download source code for a broad number of programs and have them run and configured any way you wish is still magical, no matter how many times I've tried it.

Then there's the fact that you can get reliable information on an endless amount of subjects with very little friction or red tape. I am still in awe of The Internet and haven't become jaded about it yet, as many of my peers have (they literally have grown bored of the net...something I can't understand). I guess it's how you apply the knowledge instead of merely knowing for the sake of knowing.
