Happy Geek Pride Day!
GEEK PRIDE DAY is celebrated on 25th May. So today it’s the world pride day for technology lovers. But who are these Geeks? Here's the most widespread identikit:- wears t-shirts with logos from television shows,
- goes to video game conventions,
- obsessively collects Star Trek gadgets.
Geek - pronounced: /ɡiːk/ - is a term of Anglo-Saxon origin that is used to describe an eccentric or non-mainstream person, with a strong passion, or experience, in the field of digital technology, which leads him/her to be perceived as an expert.
So, according to Wikipedia, a Geek is an expert in digital technology and computer science who is very sociable…essentially the hero in the hoodie on the front cover of Forbes, who over the last twenty years has, using technology, been able to dominate markets. The Geek's passions are all things digital and he or she ends up becoming a real guru with a mission to change all our lives, in a positive manner. And what better place than Talent Garden to challenge such stereotyping and pay homage to those who are really making a difference? Let us introduce you to some of the members of the Talent Garden community who are defining the term "Geek".***
