When I was growing up geeks/dorks/nerds led quiet and invisible lives. We were ignored by the mainstream. Jocks and other popular guys got the girls and all the attention. No one was interested in the things we were interested in (comic books, sci-fi, computers).
Now it's different. Hollywood is putting out movies that once only appealed to us dorks (Star Wars, Star Trek, Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Fantastic Four etc) but are now popular with everyone.
Everybody seems to be into computers now. Maybe not as a subject into itself but if you like music then you surely know about MP3s and stuff. And not to mention other stuff like email and instant messages now. Suddenly, a nerdy interest like computers (TRS-80 days) is now considered cool.
One of the richest man in the world is a dork like us.
Computer related jobs is generally a high earning career field. And because of this, girls are starting to notice us.
We have TV networks devoted to PCs, gaming (GT4) and Science Fiction. And more girls are taking notice of us (because girls like being in front of the TV and getting attention -- having TV networks means we might provide them an opportunity to be in front of the TV and get notice -- hence we are attracting more attention from girls).
And because of this, we can now pay and hire good looking girls to be around us. Look at all the female hosts in GT4 -- they are attractive females! And what about the booth babes that we hire in our convention? They are hot! Have you noticed that a lot of females in sci-fi show are attractive?
Is there a better time to be a geek/dork/nerd? Is this not the Golden Age of Geeks/Dorks/Nerds?
