This "dork" needs to get a life.

This professor needs to spend a little more time outside the academic world. 

 

As a self professed geek, and nerd to a lesser extent, I can say that those are not damaging words.  The majority of my friends also wear them as a badge of pride.  His study is a clear case of looking WAY to microscopically at something.  Look around our culture right now.  One of the more popular television shows (Big Bang Theory) portrays the nerd and the geek in a fairly over the top manner, but is still not insulting. 

 

Anyhow. I don't have much time to write, I've busy at my IT job trying to solve problems for the wireless communications industry. 

 

I am geek.
