I think it's fair to say that gaming is now mainstream. We have Doritos and Mountain Dew advertising; respectable publications like Forbes, The New York Times, and The Guardian regularly have articles about the industry; people play Angry Birds on their iStuffs at work or while they're making dinner; feminists are complaining in full force about the hobby; etc.

As these things go, whenever something becomes popular, those who were previously ... socially unacceptable for appreciating that something tend to flee elsewhere.

So I wonder: where are the "geeks" and "nerds" fleeing to from gaming? Do "geeks" and "nerds" even exist anymore?

Google Glass might be the next geek toy if it works as expected and affordable enough.
