The Hacker, the Geek and the Nerd

Sorry, were you expecting a joke? What do these mean for us? Well, here's my definition:

  • Hacker: someone who gets out of computer systems more than they were designed to deliver, doing it on an elegant and efficient way;
  • Geek: someone that believes technology doesn't have to serve a purpose, but is the purpose itself; and that past technology is no fun, no mater how reliable may it be;
  • Nerd: basically a geek with no social capabilities;

So that said, I'm declaring my self guilty as charge as Geek.
