> I like to be informed. It sounds like you need to be informed and that you'll be unhappy if you aren't. Now if you replace 'informed' in the above sentence with anything else (e.g. cigarettes, coffee, alcohol, sex, etc) you'll notice it sounds like an addiction, because it is. Anything that makes you feel good can be addictive, and learning new things feels good.
