Fw: NYTimes.com: Who's a Nerd, Anyway?

[Alexandre Enkerli]

Sounds quite interesting. Haven't read Mary Bucholtz's own research yet but
there's a lot to be said about nerds and geeks in today's world, especially
in tech-intensive parts of North America.
Has anybody seen carry-over from geek/nerd culture in other tech-savvy parts
of the World, say, in South Asia?
