USC-Some people categorize engineers as geeks or nerds. Are you a geek, nerd, or neither? Why?

<p>Hello guys,
Can someone give me a brief definition of what is a geek and a nerd. I sorf of know they are similar but i'm not really sure. Please, can someone tell me what is the difference betwee those? </p>

<p>I thought they had the exact meaning, so i looked it up:
Geek – An enthusiast of a particular topic or field. Geeks are collection oriented, gathering facts and mementos related to their subject of interest. They are obsessed with the newest, coolest, trendiest things that their subject has to offer.</p>

<p>Nerd – A studious intellectual, although again of a particular topic or field. Nerds are “achievement” oriented, and focus their efforts on acquiring knowledge and skill over trivia and memorabilia.
I would talk about the definition, as you interpret it, in your answer.</p>

<p>Thank you so much :smile: </p>
