Over time of film watching and gadgets deals, I have seen one pattern that I discover sort of entertaining, and may assist with clarifying how we *cough* "know" who the Nerds are... Innovation. Say what you will about Nerds, geeks and innovation are practically tradable terms. Notwithstanding whatever else they are enthusiasts of, geeks LOVE their innovation, and are regularly quick to embrace the most up to date mechanical advances.
Individuals, (and by individuals, I mean overall and not in explicit), cultivate an adoration/disdain/dread relationship with innovation. At the point when we initially get another innovative gadget, we love it. We love our vehicles, PCs, cells, tablets, cameras, and every one of our contraptions and happy little doodads that accompany current life. When our gadget doesn't work *exactly* as wanted, we blow up. We dread existence without them, and dread existence with them. Individuals regularly take out their dissatisfactions on honest bits of electronic gear. (I once tossed my PDA across a room when I was battling with my then-sweetheart. The telephone marvelously endure).
In the 1,000+ movies I have watched in my life, a typical subject emerges. Indeed, even in the absolute most established movies made, the "Dread of Technology" is a predominant topic. In the primary sci-fi film, Metropolis (1927) a fem-bot annihilates the city. In Modern Time s (1936) Charlie Chaplin, an assembly line laborer, has a mental meltdown in view of his high-stress innovative work. In a range of later movies like the Terminator series, Transformers series, and I, Robot (2004) just to give some examples, innovation is a hazard. Innovation ascends against the beefy makers (or simple people) and annihilates society.
Mankind in these movies are additionally to some degree saved by innovation. Eliminator's John Conner is over and again safeguarded by innovation as it tries to obliterate him. The Deceptacons, generally military and non-vehicle robots, cause gigantic measures of obliteration on Earth while we are saved by Optimus Prime (a 18 wheeler) and his Autobots (An assortment of vehicles, trucks, and types of Civilian transportation). This likewise shows a slight dread of military attack, a concern that war has destroyed our general public.
Maybe probably the best explanation we dread innovation is that innovation eliminates our need in the work environment individuals are supplanted with machines, making less individuals be important to play out similar capacities. What use do we have of genuinely live sitters when we can have a robot babysitter? In I, Robot society has become changed and acclimated with the excess of robots: they accomplish practically everything we individuals would prefer not to accomplish for ourselves. Robots are obliged by rules to secure us, until they turn on humankind on the grounds that V.I.K.I, the focal 'cerebrum' of the not set in stone mankind can't deal with itself.
Yet, what does this have to do with Nerds, You inquire? Allow me to clarify.
In films, and, in actuality, Nerds embrace innovation and make it their own. Geeks are the initial ones to take-on new innovation like PCs, the web, tablets. Cellphones are a special case, yet generally in light of the cost of the most punctual PDAs.
In the Revenge of the Nerds films, geeks perform PC based music. In Weird Science, geeks assemble an ideal lady (despite the fact that she unleashes ruin, the Nerds were the ones with the skill to do as such) as a result of their powerlessness to move toward young ladies. They are not genuinely attempting to supplant ladies, yet to figure out how to converse with them. In Growing Pains the geeky Carol Anne Seaver once fantasies about getting a modem. On the TV series Chuck, the "Geek Herd" works in PC fix. Programmers are truly a lot of geeks utilizing their better geek information than 'hack' into legislative data sets. While brave in the film, the danger of programmers and individuals taking our data off the web is genuine. Indeed, even Tony Stark Iron Man is a Nerd with Money: the comic book fan's fantasy about being Rich with all the Tech and ability to incorporate himself into a hero job.
The men (and a portion of the ladies) in the Big Bang Theory are geeks They are additionally state of the art researchers, concentrating on String Theory, space, hypothetical physical science, things that befuddle numerous laypeople like Penny, the ordinary. However, the men made things like a zero-gravity latrine.
Geeks are regularly the ones to *embrace* innovation since they make it. Reality "geeks" Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have had a colossal impact in regular day to day existence. It is the geek who has the expertise, ability, and astuteness to make, to think forward, to concoct groundbreaking thoughts and replies to issues that current themselves to society.
It is the geek that fixes the innovation. We go to geeks when our PC breaks, when we can't fix our cellphone, when we don't have the foggiest idea how to set up our new Television framework. Presently, I'm not saying that geeks fix vehicles, however Nerds do configuration cars and test them.
This hug of innovation is maybe why cliché Nerds love Science Fiction sort: Science Fiction shows an existence where all the difficult work of Nerds has paid off.
