The Evolution of a geek. A flowchart
There are all kinds of geeks, nerds, spazzes, and dorks out there. Each of them have one thing in common: they are obsessed with something. One thing. They are just plain bonkers over it!
It could be anything – cars, video games, card games, movies, books, music, film, television, sports, comics, computers, mobile-phones, programming, or just plain old pop-culture.
Either way, geeks can and do come in all shapes and sizes and from all walks of life.
