What I find a bit disturbing in this article and frankly all the comments, is how the words "nerd" and "geek" are used interchangeably, when in fact they're very different things, and no one seems to care. Furthermore, I think it only explores a very limited subculture while overly stereotyping it. Let's not forget that those who shout loudest don't necessarily represent a large group. Don't get me wrong, I am not dismissing certain anecdotal realities in this article, but given the above, I find it highly debatable and quite refutable in a universal context.
