Revenge of the Nerds

The documentary proliferated 3 stereotypes of computer nerds:
  1. diet consists of stale pizza and Coke
  2. four-eyed males clueless about hygiene and girls
  3. used their garages for computing instead of cars

Many of these stereotypes remain relevant today. And only because many of them still hold some truth. If you walk into a gamer store today you'll see over weight men with glasses, eating things like hot pockets, pizza, and Coke. They have little social skills and almost not hygenic routine. One thing I've found true about computer enthusiasts is that there is no specific age range. I've seen people from age 13 to 30 having discussions about computers.
