No, no, and he’ll flash in the conversation: “Oh, this is a real geek!” This phrase can have a variety of colors - from dismissive to admiring.
Who are geeks? Why they do not want to be put on a par with ordinary people? A couple of decades ago, encyclopedias defined geeks as people overly keen on advanced technologies. In the 80-90s, it was geeks who conquered the Internet. Thanks to them, for many of us, the Internet has become a familiar habitat. A little later, the ubiquitous Wikipedia began to answer a little differently the question of who the geeks are. These are eccentric (and translated from English - “nuts” or “eccentric”) people who are mostly obsessed with computer technology. This cohort includes Bill Gates, Nicklaus Wirth, Larry Page and the like. Internet communities either jokingly or seriously even painted a portrait of a classic geek.
Who are geeks?
Geeks are people obsessed with powerful hardware. It doesn't matter what they buy, phone or computer. Going to the store, they know exactly what they need, but until they introduce the seller into the trance with their technical questions, they won’t buy anything. Who are geeks?
People going to extremes. Some of them prefer only everything at once, so their computers do not know how to embroider. Others, by contrast, are minimalists. They buy the simplest equipment (but with powerful hardware) and at night bring it to perfection. Who are geeks? A few years ago, it was believed that geeks were unsociable, people who did not monitor their appearance and were unable to communicate. Today it is not. Their circle of acquaintance can be enormous, but most often their interlocutors are virtual, and the topics of conversation are technical. And the beggar, who bought a smartphone for prestige, and the banker or student, who at night turns the computer into a model of excellence -
is a geek. Moscow and other large cities know a lot of people, all of whose interests revolve exclusively around computers and gadgets. The most interesting among them are, of course, girls.
The girl is a geek. Who is it?
This is hickah. A person who is completely unlike glamorous girls and Turgenev's young ladies. She is not interested in “musi-pusi”. She does not watch Dom-2 and sometimes understands modern electronics better than all her classmates. She is the dream of many, because with her you can talk about anything, even about the WOW battles.
True, she pays little attention to such trifles as cooking or cleaning, but she is always ready to discuss with you the latest computer games or the latest gadgets, and in a language that you understand. Who are the geek girls? Persons who can not stand vulgar, foolish, pompous and stupid men. To win her attention, it is not enough to know by heart the jokes of the Comedy Club or Crooked Mirror. Her heart does not accelerate at the sight of a bouquet of luxurious roses, but she is able to appreciate any dish prepared by a candidate for her attention. Just like a geek man, she buys only the best, and anything simpler can improve on her own. That is why, spending most of her time on the Internet, she rarely happens in Odnoklassniki, Kontakte. So who are geeks? These are intelligent, enthusiastic people living in complete harmony with their interests and not distracted by the little things of everyday life.
