Once upon a time, technology nerds were looked at with reverence. That time will come again.
Well, this implies that they are not today. And in many cases, it is true.

My statement requires some backstory. At some point, "nerdy" became a thing... (Pretty sure it was the 80s.) Where nasally voices and pencil pouches were found on every TV show and at every formal event. The stereotype became ubiquitous. Phrases such as: "This is my nerd", and "Geek it up!" became commonplace—and the typical, hard-working technician would barf.
Someone had to fight back, so I wrote a book: "How to Be a Tough Guy Nerd". It sold two copies. Strange, because my Mother wanted nothing to do with it.
