If you are someone who reads a lot of books, follows technology, knows about different operating systems and enjoy watching sci-fi movies or TV series, then chances are you have either been called a ‘geek’ or a ‘nerd’.
I have always found both terms quite similar except that being called a ‘geek’ was cooler than being called a ‘nerd’. 🙂
Here is a nice infographic by Masters in IT, that tries to define the difference between a ‘Geek’ and ‘Nerd’.
It does so by some interesting differences in tastes and professions chosen by people who are called one of the two terms.
Thanks to R@xit for the tip.
So what are you? A geek or a nerd? Do drop in your comments.

Very interesting indeed! If I say I like this article very very much what would I be called–a nerd or geek?
And we bloggers are. Geeks or nerd?
