I am wondering whether I will achieve Geek status… Somehow I missed out on thinking it was an attractive moniker in the old days. Today, I am not so sure. At the very least, I might not get lost when the kids rotate from one game to another or gravitate to more sophisticated gadgets. Then, on the work front, it seems like technology has seeped into every crevice of the day: telephone voice mail, email, blackberry, conference calls, etc… Then, yesterday, I had an epiphany. I found out that three of my emails had arrived “empty.” Immediately, the virus alert. But, more importantly, I experienced a ghastly sense of feebleness when faced with the formidable fear that maybe I would be without technology. The question is whether this is geekiness or mere dependence?
Computer Geek TBC LOL
