I have finished the whole esssay, if you get bored, have fun reading
I’m not sure if I should get the Q6600 yet. Not many applications utilize its quad core technology. It does have 2.4 gigahertz processing speed and a 6 megabyte L2 cache, but the dual core E8400 seems to be out performing it as of now. I just don’t know what to get, but I do know a good handful of people who read the last couple of sentences would have no idea what I’m talking about. I guess I’ll break the news now. I am a nerd. I know weird, right? I don’t have acne, or wear glasses, so how come I know so much about computers? People are brought up to think of all nerds the same way. This is a terrible and unfair thing to do. There are many different classifications of nerds, such as the common nerd, the computer nerd, the video game nerd, the techie nerd, the comic and movie nerd, and the hybrid nerd. Each of these classes has their own unique field of expertise.
By definition, the common nerd is an unattractive and irritating person who is intelligent, but single-minded, obsessed with nonsocial hobby and pursuit. This nerd can only be found in school. It is the only public setting where they will venture from their “lair” more commonly known as their bedroom. It is unknown in which activities this nerd may partake, but it is fact that they are exceptionally skilled in the subjects of math and science. They also seem to enjoy pocket protectors and neatly combed hair as well as ties, and polished shoes. There is an urban myth that says the common nerd can never find love with a female partner, but there is evidence that proves the statement to be false. In 1984, during the movie Revenge of The Nerds, sorority girl Betty Childs was heard saying, “I’m in love with a nerd!” There is still debate whether or not this is concrete evidence.
A computer nerd is one who spends a majority of their time with computers. They are a very opinionated form of the nerd, and tend to be die hard fans of certain hardware companies such as Intel, AMD, ATI, and Nvidia. Using hardware from any company except for the one of their choice would certainly be a sin. This nerd will argue Microsoft versus Apple to their grave, and anyone who stands in their way will be called a newb so fast their head will spin. It is extremely difficult to spot this nerd in public because all they need is their computer to survive. If something is not accessible in their immediate reach it can be ordered on the internet and shipped to their house, eliminating the need to go outside. Computer nerds often experience an illness similar to one that their sports minded, party animal counterparts endure, a hang over. Though a computer nerd’s hang over is not the result after a great deal of alcohol. It is the consequence of prolonged exposure to the computer screen, and it is the computer nerd’s worst enemy. It is said that if it wasn’t for the eye burning, head splitting head aches of the computer hang over; these nerds could stay at their computers for twenty-four-hours a day, seven days a week with an adequate supply of Red Bull and Monster energy drinks.
The video game nerd is the most competitive form of the nerd. They often refer to themselves as 1337 (leet) which means to be elite, or skillful. With this, they exercise their prowess by calling other players n00bs, a term keyed from the word newbie, meaning to be new to the internet or a video game. Most video game nerds spend their time playing Halo, and they have a peculiar religion that follows with it. They worship their God, Master Chief as they faithfully play Halo for at least 2 hours a day. The other bunch of video game nerds indulge in what is called a massive multiplayer online game, more commonly know as a MMO. This breed of video game nerd does not accept the role of a normal human being, but rather their level twenty-three gnome mage. Instead of going to the grocery store, this variation of the video game nerd slays dragons, but one thing remains the same between these subclasses. Mundane “n00b” humans are lesser life forms in their eyes.
If it wasn’t for this next bunch of smarty pants, humanity might as well give up now. In a world of an ever growing amount of unstable technology, the techie nerd is the concrete that our civilization is built upon. Like many of the other nerds, these guys are hard to spot in public because they’re behind the scenes fixing our computers, phones, televisions, and basically anything that we count on to work, but doesn’t. There are a few exclusive places where these technical grease monkeys can be found. The biggest being the Geek Squad at Best Buy. That brigade of geeks is the one stop shop for technical know how, or what I like to call humanity support center. As previously said, regular human beings are doomed without those dorky techies.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Superman? No, it’s a comic and movie nerd dressed up like the man of steel. These nerds can be found at the premiers of their favorite comics and movies such as Star Wars and Harry Potter. They can be hard to spot though because they are usually in disguise. Is that a nerd over there? No way, that’s Darth Vader. Okay, yes, that is a comic and movie nerd. They can be tricky, but one can develop a keen eye to spot them. Just don’t get too scared when one of them comes up to you with a wand saying, “Expelliarmus!” It is just a comic and movie nerd.
The last, all encompassing, smorgasbord of nerdity is the hybrid nerd. The hybrid nerds live among us. They are nerds in disguise with little bits and pieces from all of the different classes. Personally, I’m a hybrid nerd. I’m savvy with computers, I play video games, I help fix computers, and I know what “expelliarmus” means. There are many different types of nerds, and to think that all nerds are the same is utterly wrong. By the way, I just installed my Q6600 processor today, and I over clocked it to 3.1 gigahertz. I’m happy to say that it out performs a E8400.
