In the early 1990's someone was talking about storing genealogy information on PC's. Scary thought!
Then the explosion of information available to researchers "on the net".
The sharing of information on the Internet is one of the greatest things that has happened to genealogy. (my opinion)
Sharing DNA has brought a new tool to many.
Still there is the thrill of opening a book or other record and seeing a newly discovered ancestor's name in print or written word.
It is always a thrill to find someone you have never heard of researching the same person I am. I have come across a few bad apples on some sites but I just ignore them and go to someone nicer. Just 10 years ago, I never thought I would be so hooked on something like this! A cousin’s wife had been into genealogy and going all over the country to find records and when she showed me what she had, I became interested. I also discovered that info on the web can be so very wrong with kids being born before the parents, etc. I just ignore them until I can find other records.
