Suzann Kale asked: Geeks know how things work. Geeks are our engineers, our computer scientists, our physicists, our chemists – and you, our new do-it-yourself computer heroes.
The Geeks among us never stop learning, even if they teach themselves. And indeed, many sophisticated computer-proficient people are self-taught. They read, they stay up to date on their niches of interest, they’re not afraid to try new approaches to old problems.
And it’s easier than ever now for you, too, to become a Geek. Why not? There’s tech information out there on the web, free, for anyone to read and learn. For instance, many people are forgoing the cost of a website developer and creating their own sites From scratch! Free step-by-step instructions, like the ones at
Website – Do It Yourself,
W3 Schools,
Wikipedia,
HTML Goodies,
HTML Code Tutorial, and many others, are there for the taking.
And here’s something that goes against stereotype: Geeks are creative. You can become a Geek, use your right-brained artistic functions, and make your website – or whatever technical project you choose – beautiful, functional, helpful, clever, and even lucrative. Geeks are people who know how to build things – from bridges to nanofactories, from super computers to high-tech toys, from a global Internet business to a personal website. Geeks are the new heroes.
An engineer we know got an email from a satisfied client saying, “You’re a genius!” The engineer was happy his client was pleased, but he turned and said, “I’m not really a genius. I solve problems, that’s all.” Anyone who is creative can solve problems. It’s easy being Geek.
To a Geek, few things are impossible. You just have to think, and try, and research, and try again, and mind-map, and see how things connect.
How can you be a Geek?Have confidence in yourself, and your ability to learn new things. Know that you are creative and can solve problems. Do it – build your own website!Live life with curiosity. That’s a Geek prerequisite.Read a lot. Don’t get left behind. A true Geek is an up-to-the-minute guy or gal.Know in your heart that: well, WE NEED YOU! We want you. The word Geek is a good word. It means competent person who keeps the world running.
Why should you be a Geek? To be self-reliant. To be a part of the global community. Who knows, if you get good at building websites you could make money at it.
It doesn’t matter if you go to night school after your day job, or if learn new skills from a computer course. If being a hero appeals to you, and you have a curiosity about this physical world, you’ve got the goods!
And – you’ll always be loved!
