Nerd and Geek

I recently read an interview conducted by BCS (British Computing Society) with Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple).  Steve Wozniak's interpretation of a nerd and a geek: 

 

Quoting Steve:

"A nerd follows technology but a geek is almost a word that's negative and implies a bad look – it's like geeks from the circus – strange looking weird characters and it's partly true as well! "

Nerd – It's the sort of person who cares more about IT and technology and they don't do a good job socially, thinking about others. That one of the problems, the engineer doesn't do a good internal marketing job understanding the actual user of what they are working on.
