"Learning is fun; endless googling is not."

Searching for knowledge/information, discovering domain-specific terms, then finding their definitions... these are all very important parts of learning.

Any time I've had to get into a new domain, I start off with searching. Then you discover new terms specific to that domain, then you learn those terms, then you apply those terms to learn more in-depth topics about the domain you're learning about. Before you know it, you're a jack of a new domain (or more than a jack, if you put the time in).
