The Computer Geeks

Sounds interesting right? Read on to know about all the things which usually make a guy get recognized as a computer geek.

We all love action movies. But have you ever seen any action movie without any physical fights in it? Ha ha … don’t get confused fellas! I am speaking about those movies which have a computer specialist as their main character. But a computer specialist need not necessarily be a computer geek. A computer geek is someone who is actually interested in learning every nook and corner of a computer. He is someone who can fix any computer problems within seconds as also ruin any operating system within the flick of a second. Computer geeks are often confused with hackers. A hacker is a person who is always standing on top of his toes in order to gain access to others bank accounts (usually) or try and steal the database of a very important website.

Every guy wants to be known as a computer geek. The reason is, because, the lifestyle of a computer geek is something really very special. Such lifestyles are generally adorned by people having flamboyant characters. Boys always dream of becoming a computer geek because of the impression that it creates on the people around them. And it is also a known fact that girls are sometimes really crazy about computer geeks. A computer geek is never interested in a job. Because of the huge number of things that a geek knows about a computer he is often found making money with the help of his personal computer in a number of ways. Usually such people end up becoming website creators (or they maintain a server in their houses, or they do some photography or animation work using their computers). Usually all the funny animation stuff that we see on the internet is done by these very computer geeks. You give them a job regarding computers and their fingers will start running all around the PC.

Usually computer geeks like the casual lifestyle. They just hate going to jobs. They earn as much as they like by working out miracles with their dream machines. This is one of the reasons why they are so much appreciated by the members of the opposite sex. Usually it is guys who like such a lifestyle and are always found to be weak in their academic progress. The reason is not because they are dumb or lazy. The reason is because they just hate the text books. You give them books concerned with very hard computer logic and they will drill through them in a no time. Sometimes even the parents of such children get surprised when they see their children being so sharp and yet so dull in terms of their academic progress.

Computer geeks are always found surfing the internet or reading some PDF files stored in their computers which are completely concerned with the various possibilities that can be done with the help of their magic machines. Such people are never bothered about the configuration of the computer in front of them as long as it works. They earn millions and millions of money with their practical knowledge in the field of computers. Usually they are most interested in the hardware part of computers. I have seen geeks removing the whole computer peripherals and reconnecting them in less then thirty minutes. These techno geeks do not create softwares. Instead they use readymade softwares in order to create various things that interest them. Usually geeks are very creative. You tell a geek to design the cover for a magazine and within no time he will start scribbling something on a piece of paper, feed it into the computer through a scanner and apply the necessary effects and colors to it using any software which supports vector images. They are always busy with some creative stuff on their computers.

You will never find such guys wearing formal dresses. Very rarely do such people bother about decent clothes. There is only one thing which a geek is bothered about: computers. The most surprising thing with such people is that they rock the place wherever they go. They know the meaning of fun and joy. They are always found to be very successful in their lives. Many a people envy the love and prosperity that these geeks enjoy from the people around them. Being a computer geek is a very difficult job for those who want to become one. On the other hand it is very easy to be recognized as a computer geek for someone who just loves hanging around with computers. In order to be a computer geek you need to have a great zeal to learn about the various things that can be done using your computer.

To be a geek you need to know all about the internet, LAN, WAN, OS management, BIOS setup, installation of OS, Disc partitioning, Adobe Photoshop, MS office, Website designing, database management, etc. Do remember one thing very well, if you want to be a computer geek you need to know about all the pin points of a computer and their working. You will be sought for, by your friends when they will be purchasing any electronic gadget. You need to know about all the leading companies and their latest gadgets released in order to get recognized as a geek. Anything goes wrong with somebody’s computer; you should be able to tell the most probable error which has occurred by just listening to the complaints of your friend. Say, a friend of yours tells you that he is getting a blue screen display on his monitor; you should be immediately able to tell him that his PC’s RAM is corrupted. Someone tells you about some problems like a disabled task manager you should be immediately telling him that it is a virus and it can be easily removed with the help of an updated anti-virus. Also you should keep a track of the various smart phones and motherboards which are available in the market and are acknowledged for their ultimate performance by the leading computer magazines. Always make sure that you know the basic configurations required for:

1. A powerhouse

2. Gaming rig

3. Workhorse

4. HTPC

Also keep in touch with the cutting edge technology. You should know sufficiently about WiMAx, WiFi, Bluetooth and other cutting-edge technologies so as to tell about them in such a manner that even a lame person should be able to grasp it. Anybody asks you anything about Smart phones, Handy Cams, Digital Cameras, MP3 players, MP4 players, etc. you should be able to tell them everything they need to know about it. Always give good suggestions regarding the various models of digital gadgets around which use the latest cutting edge technologies in them. Also keep a track of the various ISP’s. It is usually appreciated by others when you let them know about the best possible way in which they can stay connected to the internet. So wear a tee and drive yourself crazy trying to know about the various things that will make you a computer geek.

Have a cool day !!!!!!!!!!
