I think the word ‘nerd’ is now being under stated.

So many ‘non-nerds’ do nerdy things – PS2, online gaming, Internet, technology slaves (e.g.new mobile phone etc.).  Traditional non nerds have been converted with video games like Fifa – a fusion of ‘ned’ or ‘chav’ with ‘nerd’.

Soon ‘nerd’ will be replaced by ‘techy’ – or so I hope!
