Types of Geeks In The Planet Earth

It was not until 1950s that the term "geek" became associated with those who were passionate or obsessed with technology or specific sub-culture. 

If you have seen the "Evolution of the Geek" poster, well it is quite detailed in a fact that they list it out many types of geeks through the time. But i think there are just some geeks i want to point out some geeks and give my opinion, the must-have gadgets for them and what type of language they say. Well, after all, this is only my opinion, not necessarily to be 100% true. Do have fun reading.

1. Apple Geek

• Well this type of geek are die-hard fans of Apple, obviously. 
• They will battle to backup Apple products in forums, twitter, facebook and even in youtube comments
• When Apple launches a product, they will try to be the first one to get it, or at least hoping to be there.
• People who want simplicity and not complicated procedures.
• They always make productivity their priority. Thats why they choose Mac.
• Must have items: (err, All Apple products) 
• Mostly speak just the same way urban people speak. Well they are just people who likes Apple products so much

2. Game Geeks

• Its either on the computer or console, they are hardcore gamers.
• A random guess, either they play MMPORGP, FPS or others. If they play games like it will give them money, that is the game geek. 
• Conduct or join in gaming tournaments. Almost all of their friends are selected based on the similar games they play
• Must have items: A very powerful computer and a very large screen and a very fast internet connection and lots of free time
• For normal guys, if you don't ever play the game, don't dream to be in their conversation, you will not understand a thing!
• Terms use in daily life are similar to a regular technology or computer geek: n00b, pwn, some leet speaks etc.

3. Design or/and Photography Geeks

• It will be a hard life without them, after all, everyone needs someone to design you a poster someday (or not?). 
• They can draw/paint creatively and makes all the people around so jealous with the talent they have. 
• Photo shoots is the time to gather around and take pictures everywhere while chatting about the latest camera, techniques etc. 
• No 1 rule: don't judge someone with his/her camera. 
• Photoshop is a click away on the desktop or down the taskbar in their computer
• Must have items: Photoshop(err did i say that again?), a computer that is sufficient to run the latest Photoshop, the latest pro DSLR camera (or some enjoy having some old cameras, it depends), a lot of lenses, accessories.
• They speak their own language, sometimes something that is so average looks so beautiful to them. etc.

4. Linux geek

• At least heard the word "Free as in Freedom", by Richard Stallman, 
• They use linux as their main OS.
• Love the terminal
• Encouraging other peoples to use linux. Keep telling that warez is not a good thing. 
• Every linux fan is also a fan to at least one linux distro. Sometimes there are wars among the distro and everyone will backup their distro till the end.
• Love the "adventure" solving problems in linux, maybe due to hardware, drivers, software etc.
• Windows == Winblows.
• Must have items: A fully compatible linux desktop/laptop. A private server. Very stable internet(to download those updates)
• Linux speak. sometimes leet speak, but all the time make jokes of linux commands. rm -rf, sudo, etc.

There is just some geeks that i really know. But the main idea is, a geek is someone who have a lot of passion into something and trust me, it is not bad if someone called you a geek. Hug a geek today! (just joking, lol)
