Triumph of Nerds

The first stereotype I noticed was that most "nerds" are male, not female. Another stereotype was that they all wear glasses (huge glasses at that). A third stereotype was that they start to learn about computers when they are young, even little kids.

I think most of these stereotypes have faded. Most people still think more boys are good with computers rather than girls, but this is rapidly changing if not existent at all. The stereotypes about glasses and starting to become obsessed as a child are not still relevant. If I was to make a movie, I don't think I would add any stereotypes. Any type of person in today's society can be skilled with computers, boy or girl. Stereotypes still do exst, but they are not as much of a reality.
