Tibetan Geeks

A long time ago in the west, the word '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.
