INTRODUCTION.
SINCE COMPUTERS AND THE INTERNET BECAME CONSUMER PRODUCTS (MID 90's) THEIR USE HAS GROWN EXPLOSIVELY .
THIS HAS CREATED THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW PHENOMENON : THE COMPUTER ADDICT AS A DISTINCT GROUP .
A VARIANT OF THIS GROUP IS THE COMPUTER NERD .
A VARIANT OF THE COMPUTER NERD IS THE GLOBAL MIND COMPUTER NERD .
IN THE LAST DECADES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COMPUTER NERDS MAY STILL HAVE BEEN A COMPARATIVELY SMALL GROUP .
HOWEVER, I FEEL IT IS QUITE SAFE TO SAY THAT FROM THE START OF THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY COMPUTER USAGE HAS BECOME ALMOST COMMON .
EVEN NOW COMPUTER IGNORANCE CAN ALMOST BE COMPARED WITH THE INABILITY TO READ AND WRITE A CENTURY AGO .
ONLY THE LESS FORTUNATE (OR THE LESS PRIVILEGED) WHERE EXCLUDED .
THUS , WHAT USED TO BE A COMPUTER NERD HAS NOW BECOME AN ALMOST NORMAL PERSON .
TO BE A "REAL" COMPUTER NERD , YOU WOULD NOW HAVE TO BE A COMPUTER ADDICT .
A COMPUTER ADDICT PERHAPS EVEN WITH A PARTIAL ASPERGER’S SYNDROME .
IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SUGGESTED HERE THAT YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF WITH THIS TERM . UNLESS IT GIVES YOU PEACE OF MIND .
AND PLEASE . . . TRY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE DEFINITIONS GIVEN IN THE TEXT ABOVE FIRST . . .
