Cool "Geeks"

First I would like to comment on the website: I found it very comical to see how people are attempting to make "geeky-ness" hip. The website advertises celebrities and then adds word "geeky" in the title to make it relate to geeks. However it's important to note that there is a consumer base for this kind of media and news.

The article itself also touches on an important phenomenon developing in today's tech world. This idea of less face-to-face interactions. And that people can now have relationships with computers, reveals a new dependance on computers. However I think that this isn't something to be too concerned about, because I think most people realize that a computer cannot replace everything a human can provide. I would not be too concerned about this development.
