They Geeked my world

So I grew up in early 1990's and saw more movies than I read books. Somehow they always would show this alpha male guy as a billionaire/millionaire (except bill gates everyone was a millionaire; unlike today)  ; jaw-line intact ; shrewd and piercing eyes ; abundant confidence and this totally bad-ass but committed to his ambition zing. They wore black.

So most of my growing up years I was fascinated with this idea to build a global empire; I tried equally hard also to develop the alpha male in me. It has mostly been a failed attempt I think, but the real fuck-up was when I hit my teens - they decided it was the fall of millennium and it was time to give the uber-successful guys a new look.

If you are staring dumb-fucked at what I am getting at; then its OK. You were probably busy playing video games. But here's my story-line.

Henry Ford

Rockefeller

Howard Hughes

Bill gates

Larry Page

Sergery Bin

So you see the difference between the early 1900's and ealry 2000's. The power changed from the alpha male with guts, smartness and ambitions to the geek with brains, vision and ideas. The geeks were the employees and the business guys the owner, but its fucking all flipped. It confuses my mind - who do I want to be now.

90's I wanted to be an alpha male; 2000's I started realizing that geeks were cool, a growing trend across the world. Geeks have hacked coolness. Don't believe me.

Look around - the indie-music I phone swinging guy with that hot chic is a geek, that complete social media junkie making money selling youtube and facebook content strategies loves his DC comics and clark kent glasses, oh & that colorful half hindi half english T shirt spotting dude with a bad haircut - he is pro with editing software's - all the cool photos, videos and random design posters you share - yeah that's him.

And the best for the last - that guy who cannot walk up to any chic in school is now the centre - oh yes that geek him is an entrepreneur who just sold something for tens of millions of dollars. Hipsters are not cool biker gangs or bad ass guy with dirty russian tattoos but yoga practicing, organic food and cycle riding urban junkies.

They are not tall ; they are barely fit with too much weed, smokes and beer; they have no jaw line and they seem more secure when their parents are around than left alone with real men. Yet, story after story is of another geek conquering cooldom, achieving fame, a billion bucks and the girls.

As technology sweeps everything and gives us glasses and cloud, everything will be online and they will decide. And if you are not on with it, do hell with it. you can find yourself a corner.

Is it ever to late to be Geek ??
