Today, geeks can be gals cuz it s cool to click when you re a chick. Forget what you thought you knew about geeks nerds..
. girls just wanna have fun with high tech gadgets! OK, so you re sitting around at home watching some 80s flick starring John Cusack or Anthony Michael Hall and there they are - geeks.
Well, proto-geeks really, since in those pre-Internet days (how did we LIVE??) being a geek didn t have the status it has today.
Eighties geeks were just updated Fifties nerds who packed calculators instead of slide rules. And of course, they were almost exclusively MALE. C'mon John, the Eighties weren't that bad.
.. A generation later.
.. what s this one, Y?
Z? ZZ? ZZZ.
.. Whatever - we ve evolved and so has the technology.
Pocket-stretching calculators long ago gave way to wrist-Casios and nobody even wears them anymore, our ever-smarter comps can do it all. Something else happened along the way..
. the hardware grew kinder, gentler, pinker. Yes, pink, in all its girlishly glowing Hello Kitty glory!
