Why Geeks Should Write

                In today's connected world an idea can be shared with anyone almost instantly. This sharing of thought and knowledge makes it possible to lean almost anything you could imagine just by searching for it on the internet, but if you do not know about the existence of a topic you would never know to search and learn about it. This is why geeks should write (more than they do). Although geeks do write and share information, this information is normally found in places where “non-geeks” would never look and is often explained in ways that only another ‘geeks’ would understand. This is why geeks should not only write more but should write in a way that anyone could find and understand the information.

                People in professions such has humanities are great at getting their thoughts and knowledge out to the masses. This means that many people know at least the general idea of the topics in their field and can learn more about them if they please, the same cannot be said about things “geeks” are interested in. The very fact that geeks are referred to as “geeks” shows that what they are interested in is not considered normal, but why shouldn’t it? Everyone in the modern world with a mobile phone uses technology created by “geeks” almost every day of their lives, and very few of them understand how the technology and software that make up their devices function. The fact that people use technology everyday shows that there is a very large following for the things geeks are interested in so why shouldn’t people at least have a chance to understand. In this world of many professions and ways of thinking, sharing is the only way to progress together.
