Why this word is great
INFOVORE — [Noun] A person with an avid, often compulsive, desire to seek out and consume information. From info-, a clipping of "information", and the suffix -vore, from Latin vorare ("to devour"). Unlike "bibliophile," whose affection is for the codex as an object, or one who is merely "curious," a passive trait of temperament, the infovore is driven by a systematic, rapacious need to feed. It is the pre-dawn glow of a smartphone in a dark room, the meticulous cross-referencing of footnotes, and the quiet gleaning of facts from cereal boxes and strangers' conversations—a metabolism that confuses sustenance with bulk, forever mistaking the act of consumption for the state of being nourished.
