I have been a computer geek all of my life.  My dad has been a software engineer since back when they took people with math degrees and they called them computer programmers.

When I was a kid and had one of those memory books for every grade where you have to put in what you’d like to be when you grew up, I put Computer Programmer for a majority of them (and for the ones I didn’t, I made up something so it didn’t look like I had only one thing I wanted to be!)

I was online before the Internet—mostly on BBS’s—and I have a blog back before they had software to run one.  In fact, I thought it was just a site where I listed links to people I was reading with my comments!

The internet is a great thing for people like me that like computers—and more are joining our ranks as social media and blogging make it so that anyone with a connection can reach out to the world around them.

That’s why there are so many websites online that cater to us geeks.  There are places that give you links to Buy Gadgets, or if you’re looking to travel, you can find Expedia coupon codes so that you can save some money.  There are even Sierra Trading Post Coupons you can use to buy clothing!

The Internet and related technologies have changed everything and made being a computer geek less strange and more popular.  It makes me wonder what amazing technology our kids will have in the future!
