Agreed, when I was growing up there was a clear and obvious distinction between geek and non-geek. I'd learnt computers with DOS, I remember getting a bonded modem (two 56k) was the best thing in the world and made the internet lightning fast. I remember having a science kit with glassware, a burner, fuel and even a pack of matches to light the thing, I saw one recently that didn't have a single piece of glass in it.

Geek is now the kid who can get 100% on a song on Rock Band and fail a literacy test. It's no longer the kids getting A's who play board games and video games with all their free time.
