What is "geek"???
A long time ago in the west, the work 'geek' was used
for those who sat around doing nothing interesting,
had no social life.
But the definition has changed considerably over the time!
Now a geek is proud of being a geek: The best
definition would be "an individual who is fascinated
by knowledge and imagination, usually electronic and
virtual in nature". And yes, today's geeks do have
social lives, and are doing interesting things.
