‘Nerd’ and ‘Geek’ Should Be Banned, Professor Says

‘Nerd’ and ‘Geek’ Should Be Banned, Professor Says


By STEVE LOHR in the pages of the New York Times snailpaper .....STEVE: maybe next time you can interview Dan Bloom in Taiwan about why he thinks we need a new word for reading on screens versus "reading" on paper surfaces and why he thinks that word might be SCREENING?

The New York Times ran an article Monday suggesting that what America will need in the future are more “cool nerds.” A playful tweak of the nerd stereotype, to be sure, in an effort to alter it. The people described in the piece were ones with hybrid careers, combining computing with other fields from medicine to Hollywood.



These are jobs that do not match the classic computer geek or nerd image — a heads-down programmer who is socially isolated. In the new hybrid careers, computing is a crucial ingredient and, economists say, such work will be the source of many new jobs of the future.



But David Anderegg, a professor of psychology at Bennington College, says that merely mentioning terms like nerd or geek serves to perpetuate the stereotype. The words are damaging, much like racial epithets, he says, and should be avoided.



Yet the meaning of words often evolves as the social context changes. I noted that in Manhattan’s elite high schools being called a “cool nerd” is a compliment — denoting someone with intellectual and academic chops, un-self-consciously so, and other interests as well.



Perhaps that’s true in a handful of ZIP codes around the country, Dr. Anderegg conceded. But in most of America, he said, nerds and geeks are people to avoid. The connotations are a bit different: a geek suggests a person with special expertise, while nerd suggests social ineptness. And neither are cool.



And math, science and computer science, Dr. Anderegg said, are courses that young people too often associate with nerds and geeks. As a result, he added, “they sabotage themselves in these fields, and the nation’s work force is suffering.”



“The best way to combat this,” he said, “is put it to bed,” banishing “nerd” and “geek” to the linguistic dustbin.



Not easily done, though, as Dr. Anderegg doubtless appreciates. He is an expert on the subject, and the reason I called him for the piece was that I had noticed the praise for his book, “Nerds: Who They Are and Why We Need More of Them.”

1 .
 I've thought this for a long time. I don't know if I'd go so far as to compare them to racial epithets, but I'm convinced that the "nerd" and "geek" stereotypes are a factor in repelling women, and possibly other under represented groups, from studying math and science.


2.
I use the term geek to describe myself. And I am sure I'm not the only one. Part of the reason for this is recognising what I am and taking more pride in it. It's one of the strategies adopted by other communities, taking pejorative terms and converting them into sources of pride.



The reason I prefer this approach is simple: the sort of behaviour that gets someone labelled as a geek is not something to be ashamed of.

1:41 amBeing a geek is way cool. Anyone who is way into anything is called a Geek. You can have computer geeks. Physics geeks. Shakespeare geeks. Climate geeks. Whatever... It just shows you have a passion and love for a particular interest. If anything, we need so many more geeks in this world. Go geeks!!

1:41 amYou can't change kids' culture by legislating away words. You have to make it cool to be a geek, to be smart, to be a tech wizard.



In my opinion, Dean Kamen has it right, with his FIRST initiative: http://www.usfirst.org/. You have to change the culture and make it an aspiration for them to succeed as engineers, scientists, and technologists, and not to just want to be famous or rich.



I've been a volunteer judge at the middle school competitions in Washington state for the FIRST LEGO League. To watch these kids get excited about designing robots, writing programs, and researching solutions to the worlds' problems is really, really inspiring.



And to hear many young girls say that want to be engineers when they grow up because of FLL is very cool, indeed!

1:41 amI think Dr. Anderegg is missing a very large fact, and that is that banning racial epithets has never worked, why would he assume it would work with less harmful words "geek" and "nerd."



Whats important to know is that most students being called a geek or a nerd nowadays are embracing it, the geek and nerd subcultures thrive with well-adjusted individuals who pride themselves on the skills that earned them the once derogatory title.



Sure, there are still people who use these terms in a hurtful or degrading manner, and that will never go away; but in my experience most people--even my classmates in high school (I am a college senior now)--have learned to brush this off.



Many people who fit into the geek or nerd category even enjoy the title, or appreciate how it denotes a special intelligence, in a way it is akin to the way some black people embrace the "n-word" and "make it their own," of course, in that same vein, their are geeks and nerds who don't appreciate the title and never will.



In the humble opinion of this geek/nerd, these words need a social makeover, i.e. the idea of the "cool nerd." There are some people out there who already want to be nerds, and with the right steps more people will want to follow them into a geeky career or a nerdy profession.

1:41 amDespite his research and best efforts to the contrary, I submit that a psychology professor from a tiny liberal arts college is likely only to succeed in creating an outsider's view of geek culture. Much as I will never fully understand growing up black, he will never fully understand growing up a geek.. The "geek" and "nerd" labels are worn with pride as often as they are used in disgust. Spilling ink describing why no further ink should be spilled on these words is, dare I say, a very un-geeky response.

1:41 am"Expert"? The professor interviewed for this silly article should get out of the house more often, or at least have lunch with a linguist once a week. His characterization of "nerd" and "geek" as pejorative says more about his own resemblance to certain sheltered academic stereotypes than it does about anyone else's.



If he's correct about what "most of America" thinks, then a nerd is anyone who's demonstrably smarter than you, and works hard to keep it that way. Given that, whatever most of America thinks of people like me is unimportant.

1:49 amThis is an absolutely ludicrous assertion. There are far more than a 'handful' of communities where nerd and geek carry positive connotations. I've spent time in every state in this country and I've only rarely encountered instances where geek and nerd were applied in derogatory terms.



The thing is, almost every young person is a geek these days. Whether its with photo or video editing, programming, gadgets, or even social networking being a geek is closer to the norm than its ever been. To say that these words should be dropped from our lexicon is just perpetuating the negative associations this gentleman is worried about.



Perhaps he should get out of his backwoods school and experience youth elsewhere in this nation.

1:49 amAs a Computer Scientist who's also proud to be a computer geek, I think professor David Anderegg needs to get a life and stick to subjects he's really an expert at. I earned the nickname "hack" and am proud to be called a computer geek. I have never known it to be a term of derision or used to describe me in an unflattering way.



In most social circles, you must "earn" the right to be called a certain type of moniker (i.e. Jock, Jarhead, Gearhead, etc). Those are terms that aptly describe the person in one word without explanation nor apology. Trying to apply PC sociological pressure to these well established terms is IMHO stupid and show a serious lack of understanding of the sociology involved.

I'm a geek -- and i'm proud to be one, too. There's no way in hell that either geek OR nerd is a negative stereotype in all it's useages --- anyone can turn any word into an insult if it's said right.

Life is what you make of it and sure, back in high school, when computers were first showing up (trash 80's), being called geek, nerd, or bookworm was done as a put down, it didn't really matter. The troglodytes were all prepping for their jobs as insurance and real estate salesmen and I was having fun breaking computers and getting them running again.

2:58 amBanning a word or phrase only lends it more power. Instead, the target group must embrace the derogatory comment and make it their own; change the meaning by changing how you react to it. And I think this is already happening on a broad basis. My friends and I collectively describe ourselves as tech-geeks, or "geeking-out" over something. This "geek" and "nerd" paranoia is a vestige of the 80's and early 90's generation - the era of the "Nerds" movies, and people preferring to be dumb and cool rather than smart. Gen-Y has realized that smart and cool aren't mutually exclusive, helped by seeing those dumb/cool kids languishing in menial labor jobs while the "nerds" made history (and millions) during the dotcom boom. In this age and generation, to be isolated from technology or willfully ignorant actually makes you more of an outcast. I think a greater focus should be made on linking a student's ability to navigate the ever-present technology in their lives with their ability to think critically and analytically. Make math the means to the end, not the end in itself.

2:58 amActually using the term "cool nerd" is the insulting terminology because it implies that being a nerd isn't cool. I, and my other nerd and geek friends, have been working a long time to undo the very stereotype and show people that geeks are cool. If these people would just stop using geek or nerd as a negative then the problem goes away. We don't have to change how we refer to ourselves to suit THEM. How would you like it people were offering the "less offensive" term of "hard-working black person?" You wouldn't, would you? Because it implies that black people aren't hard workers. Stop applying the negative connotation to the original term and THAT will solve the problem. Backwards people all over the world consider women to be inferior to men. Should we convince them to start using the phrase "useful woman?"

3:50 amDr. Anderegg is overreacting. Try banning anything around kids and you'll quickly realize that you get the opposite reaction: they just want to use it more. Besides, it's pretty obvious that nerd and geek are becoming cool terms if you just take a look around on the internet. From http://www.geekthelibrary.org/ to http://www.thinkgeek.com/, it's cool to be a geek. Maybe Dr. Anderegg will see improvement in his local geeks' outlook if he encourages them to embrace the term instead of trying to ban it from the bullies.

China and Russia put the blame on some screwed up experiments of US for the earthquake that happened in Haiti.
Chinese and Russian Military scientists, these reports say, are concurring with Canadian researcher, and former Asia-Pacific Bureau Chief of Forbes Magazine, Benjamin Fulford, who in a very disturbing video released from his Japanese offices to the American public, details how the United States attacked China by the firing of a 90 Million Volt Shockwave from the Americans High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facilities in Alaska
If we can recollect a previous news when US blamed Russia for the earthquake in Georgio. What do you guys think? Is it really possible to create an earthquake by humans?

Hello

I just joined this lovely site. I found loads of useful information here. Please accept my little contribution towards community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you wish to know how to lose 10 pounds in a week, you are believably not searching for a basic dieting and exercise plan. You can lose weight with a common diet and workout plan, Still this demands a lot of time doing utmost cardio workouts and adhering a strict diet. Here I will outline the right steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a week.

1. Stay away from all fried nutrients for the week
2. Drink In an 8oz glass of Citrus paradisi with breakfast every day. (this speeds up your metabolism)
3. Take reasonable portions (stop consuming when you are full)
4. If you are eating 3 large a meals a day, eat 5-6 smaller meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
5. Aviod your habbit of eating after 9 P.M.. When you eat that late your body does not burn off the calories.
6. Get plenty of sleep every night. Not getting enough rest has been verified to be a ranking element to the body putting up excess fat.
7. Utilise a body/colon cleanse for the 7 days. This will get rid of extra fat stored around the tummy area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that cause you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
8. I advice you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is proven to work, and you can get a free trial.
9. For those individuals who need to burn fat quickly, avoid alcoholic drink.
10[url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips].[/url] A low GI diet is an superior method of loosing weight quickly.

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d'Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow's milk in place of sheep's milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.

Playing bingo needs more than luck or skills and techniques, contrary to what most believe. Bingo, just like any game of chance, comes with rules and regulations that players should observe. Being a player comes with responsibilities and etiquette.

Winning the Game

The moment you figured out you won, you must immediately yell BINGO, and it should be loud enough for the floor walker to hear. The pot money shall be given to the winner once their winning card is confirmed. Well, in winning or once you know you just won, the most important thing is that you shout the winning word BEFORE the time elapses. If the game proceeds and the next number is mentioned and you failed to shout "Bingo", your winning card is disqualified. Therefore, this is the rule you must know.

There may be cases when there are two winners, and in this case the pot money shall be divided equally among the winners. Supposing there are two winning cards, the two winners will share half the prize money.

Bingo Game Rules

Bingo rules are basically the same no matter in which Online Bingo hall you play. But still it's good if you know these rules by heart. If it is your first try, then ask for handouts and inquire from pros regarding the game rules. Nonetheless, the ideal thing to do if you have questions is to ask the floor walker and not the person seated beside you. You should clarify things and doubts before the game starts because asking too many questions as the game proceeds could well distract you. This guideline also applies to those who are newcomers at casinos, those who play roulette for the first time.

Bingo halls demand an age limit of 18 years old. If you are below this age, you are prohibited to play. Some bingo houses ban alcohol inside, so players aren't supposed to take liquor nor drink it inside the venue. Smoking may also be restricted inside the venue, as there are designated smoking sections.

Take note that some Bingo houses don't allow food but some do, so it basically depends on the venue. Policies vary among different venues. For instance, some bingo halls allow reservation of cards, while others don't allow it. Some allow people to leave the venue in the middle of the game, others forbid it. But there are general policies observed in all bingo houses, such as disqualification of tampered bingo cards. There is no way you can get away with a tampered card because the walkers are adept at identifying authentic cards from tampered ones. You could be banned from a bingo establishment if proven liable of tampering a card. Hence, you should play honestly.

Interestingly, some venues offer special bingo games for kids although some halls don't allow players to have companions while playing. Suppose you bring kids with you, don't let them run around the venue and bother other gamers. They should behave well whilst you play and the game proceeds. Play quietly and don't recite the numbers you desperately want to come off because you'll be much of a disturbance if you do. Decorous playing is expectant of all players, even those who play roulette at casinos. Also, having a valid identification is important because you don't know you might win and need to present credentials.
