It became clear that a <strong>new nerd culture</strong> is spreading faster and faster. I call this new nerd culture Nerd 2.0.</p> <p>The <strong>key point</strong> is that you can no longer spend all your time in front of the computer (Nerd 1.0). Now a <strong>nerd</strong> has to be <strong>sociable</strong> and <strong>balance</strong> a love of <strong>technology</strong> with interpersonal relationships, whether with friends, at work, or elsewhere (Nerd 2.0).</p>
