    In the current "tech age", are the stereotypes of  socially awkward geeks still relevant, or have we all become geeks?

    Some would consider us all geeks because we're all members of an online  community. Others would say we're social butterflies who are computer savy.  Either way, I don't think that the term "geek" can really be considered all that  offensive any more. If anything it's a compliment

    I think it's becoming less relevant. Everyone's online and into web networking and video games.
    If anything it's uncool if you're not spending half your life online

    disappearing... they all should. :)
