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.
Influence of Dot Com Bubble
Many in the high tech industry agree that before the Dot Com bubble, technology professionals were largely harmless docile men, and that the bubble pulled in many with more abrasive personalities as well as crass people for whom "greed is good".
