The term Tech Geek refers to high wage-earning employees typically of large tech [[corporations]] like [[Google]] and Apple, but it can also refer to tech workers at [[start-ups]].
Tech geek is often used in the pejorative to suggest:
* elitism
* selfishness
* being out of touch
* disingenuousness
* lacking compassion for other human beings.
==Media coverage==
Attitudes of tech geeks have become a subject of public debate, which typically tech geeks themselves wish to prevent or discourage.
Obnoxious narcissistic exhibitionism by tech geeks, especially the founders of [[start-ups]] have been prominent in the media.
==Influence of gaming culture==
It has been theorized that gaming culture has led to newfound outbreaks of [[narcissistic personality disorder]] (NPD) among people who strongly associate with technology such as tech geeks. However not all tech geeks are gamers.
