Geek is Cool? Damn straight!
I think this article still doesn’t quite get it right, but at least it’s a start. I think that the term “geek” has had a positive connotation for some time. So saying a “typical Internet user” equals not a geek because he/she is socially active and involved in non-computer activities equals a cool person doesn’t say anything about being a geek.
To me, it’s: “typical Internet/computer user” equals geek because he/she is into computers AND IS ALSO socially active and involved in non-computer activities equals a cool person.
I’m a geek and I’m proud, damn it.
But I’m probably not making any sense….
