Geek wedding ring
Today they are called geeks and nerds, but the idea is a little bit confusing and people cannot really see the difference. While both type of mainly young people are related to some sort of computer-gadgetry fascination, the geeks can be viewed as someone with a large amount of knowledge that is sometimes rather mundane, fun and even bizarre while they are socially very comfortable, the nerds are someone with an extremely intense interest or fascination in an academic field with less social skills.
To better understand this distinction we should turn to the philosopher Isaiah Berlin who said that you you could divide people according to a saying by the Greek poet Archilochus: " The fox knows many little things but the hedgehog knows one big thing."
