Social Geeks is no Longer an Oxymoron
[ad]
It’s true. What was a fad for introverts and timid individuals has now crossed over to attract more extroverts. The race to buy the latest gadgets usually comprises of social losers, freaks who just can’t get along with the world, but find solace on the internet.
Now, it attracts extroverted geeks, being tech-savvy is no longer a disdained trait but holds the epitome that connects a circle of friends. The internet was previously a refuge for the socially inept but now is a gateway for the sociall ambitious.
I used to not be this extroverted until I began making new friends through the internet. It somehow spurred me to show my true colors of being an extrovert. And yes, to an extent I can say I’m a geek, a controlled geek. I’m a bigger music addict than anything else.
The words social and geek can now be used in the same sentence without individuals flinching at the thought of labeling you as a loser.
So you mean before this you are introverted?
So now you are liberated~lar!
i agree..it’s as if technology has bridged the gap between geeks and the ‘populars’.
I remember during college,how ppl used to give my this weird look whenever i talked about the latest computer games

Geeks are the new jocks
Unleash your inner geek! We all have it in us but sometimes we care too much what other people might think. I’m a certified bookworm, am a complete X-Files fan (yep even after all these years!) and love history (although I completely sucked at it in secondary school – gee wonder why).
Hidup geeks!
i-geek. Sexy geek
tekkaus – No no, I wasn’t an introvert, just “less” extrovert.
sriyany – My only “geek” activity until today is MUSIC.
Amanda – Ole! But what about jocks – new geeks?
Melissa – Yeah, there’s a little geek in all of us. I’m a used to be certified bookworm.
Faiez –
Being geek-ish myself, I’ve always preferred the company of geeky type people
i never like the word geek
but a real geek is always the richest… if you notice
Hurrah for geeks!
Once upon a time, people picture geeks as skinny (and sometimes obese) guys or girls with big spectacles.
Now look at our latest Miss World Malaysia, who is a ‘big geek’ herself.
Hawt!
……..took me a while to figure out what am i geeky about, think…think…think…darn!
i think im a ‘doughnut’ GEEK!
TerraShield – We would’ve been good friends then, especially during my school years.
Faisal Admar – True. How about dweeb?
cicak – Yeah, geek has been re-invented thanks to internet.
bee – Doughnut geek? Is there such a thing?
