Nerd, Geek, or Moron…

Geek

Nerd = Somebody who goes to Star Trek conventions in full Klingon regalia and/or Spock Ears. May also be a WoW addict or other shut-in. Japanophile versions refer to themselves as "Otaku" thinking it's a compliment or Japanese for "Geek" (see below).

Geek = Somebody who goes to E3 and tech conventions. Builds computers for nerds and morons. May also program their own apps and software. Usually pompous and feign exasperation when asked to help fix computers although it's what they live for.

Moron = Person who thinks the internet was invented sometime around 2000 by Google. Refers to a computer tower as the "Hard Drive". May be a Facebook or twitter addict but simple html is a foreign concept. May own an iPhone or other smartphone but only because it's trendy, they need a geek to help them get it working. A sure sign is when you open their browser and they have 12 toolbars installed.
