The World would have not been what it is now without the geeks. They have changed it forever, for good. Who's a geek? A geek tries to find reason for everything that happens around him. He enjoys reasoning about things. Finds joy in testing various technologies and derives pleasure in making changes to them. One who isn't foolishly romantic. Talks more about ideas than about people. Who takes criticisms constructively and enjoys being called a 'nerd'. So, what have these people done to this World? Well, they have done almost everything that makes this World look beautiful!
History has seen some fabulous geeks like Steve Jobs, Paul Allen, Bill Gates and many others who made the impossible possible. Steve Jobs showed an artistic approach to manufacturing computers. He integrated user-friendliness and efficient computing into what we call the 'Macintosh Computers'. His product was a big hit. Bill Gates and Paul Allen achieved similar success but through different approach. They made computers usable by the laymen. Geeks are not confined only to computer industry but also every such field that incorporates scientific principles.
What reputation they enjoy among the public? Well, the reactions are mixed. They are praised for the achievements they have made, glorified for their vision and are role-models for many budding young wizards who want to bring a change worth appreciating. They are also tarnished with a term 'nerd' often used in the negative sense. Geeks are socially inept, not without a solid reason. They are so much engrossed with their work towards accomplishment that they involuntarily forget to socialize. Socializing is about you knowing many people and many knowing you, in turn. This happens to geeks naturally once they achieve success in their mission.
