I agree with some of the other posters:

What is exciting about programming is how easy it is to realize an idea.

Programming is so accessible that anyone with a good idea can change the world. (well...okay, there's competition and patents and stuff but you know what I mean)

Technical programming theory is pretty cool too, but even if there aren't any huge technical breakthroughs for years, I doubt if we'll be able to fully harness the potential we have right now. I'm excited whenever I start working on a fresh new project, despite the fact that I use Python all the time. (actually, that's pretty exciting too)
