Nerdy is the new cool?

Hi!

Yes that is a bit of a contradicting statement, "Nerdy is the new cool" But hey, times are changing.

Lets put it this way, 10 years ago the use of a computer was mostly looked upon as a geeky, nerdy thing to do, if you were computer literate, then most likely you were a nerd.
Now with the availability of computers in most households, everyone is using the computer, and people are online.
With the advent of myspace, and personalized profiles, people now know basic HTML code.
Majority of the generation can burn CD, DVDs with ease.

Batman the dark night, was released there recently. If we all remember Batman started out as a comic book action hero, which is directly tided into being a nerd. But this comic book action hero movie won the hearts of everyone who went and seen it, and it smashed all box office hits which shows that there wasn't only a hundred people who actually went and seen it. It was a huge amount.

The likes of interesting gaming titles, and series make the "Coolest" of people frequent computer gamers, with the likes of xbox's and Playstations the norm in peoples houses.

Glasses are just as much of a fashion accessory as the clothes you wear, they are slick and stylish. People are buying clear glass glasses to look cool and fashionable.

Using the Internet to post your random thoughts on blogs, or using YouTube to express your opinion topics make the nerdy things look trendy now.

Learning to play an instrument is now a cool thing to do, as is being in a band cool. Wearing a shirt and tie on a night out is fashionable. (Although to really look cool you need some stubble)

I don't know if people are going to agree with me on this, but I definitely think this is the time of the Nerds.

Let me know what you all think.

Peace out!
