When Geeks Inherit The Earth - p2

It seems that geeks without
at
least
a
visible
trajectory towards success
are still holding up the
walls at proms and bars.
The impact for “every day
geeks,” of having geeks at
the top of the food chain, is
somewhat similar to what
h a p p e n s
w h e n
a
representative from any
minority becomes the center
of pop culture attention. On
the one hand it makes people
aware that greatness can
come from places they may
have over looked. Public
awareness is up and people
are more open to things they
may have not considered
before when it comes to
accepting people outside of
their superficial or
traditional norms.

On the other hand, however,
people being open and aware
is usually not enough
motivation to get them to act
differently than they have
grown accustomed too unless
given very good reason to do
so.
Still things are undoubtedly
better overall for geeks,
freaks and nerds. If our love
affair continues with smart
guys that look like the comic
book store owner from the
Simpsons, then the subtle
take over will continue.
Trickle down “geekanomics”
will elevate even the book
wormiest of guys and girls
and on that day we will wake
and Geeks will have
inherited the Earth. -->
