Computer Repair

BC Computer Repair Fontana
Poping up all over the place are these small computer repair shops. I know of more than ten in my city of Fontana California alone. These shops are usually accompanied with computer gaming as it tends to draw a regular crowd. For around $2.50 and hour a user can loaf around in a decent office chair and game it up all day. For now the craze is for a select few gamers and Myspace freaks. On a computer at home the atmosphere is deadly quiet with the dull hum drum surroundings you see everyday. In a computer lounge there is more of a feeling of belonging to a certain group than alone as an individual. Nerds love to stick together.

Actually, do nerds even exist anymore? What happened to the antisocial glasses wearing guys that know nothing but computers and statistics. Maybe they became smarter with the advent of the internet. Social networking is the 3rd most common reason for a person to be on the internet according to ALEXIA WEB TOP 100 SITES. That's correct, Myspace.com is the 3rd reason you will go to browse the net. So these nerds since the 80's have been trying to become more accepted until recently. Nerds have evolved and have become an icon. Look at the geek squad. They boast of the power of their geeks to fix PCs and set up home entertainment systems. No longer are the geeks, nerds, and dorks at the bottom of the social chain. They may just be at the top.

The richest man in the world is a huge nerd worth some $65 billion in the bank. Correct me if I'm wrong. He still looks like a nerd to me. I prefer the fashion of Steve Jobs. Don't think he is a nerd though. Steve just wears long sleve black turtle neck shirts at every show he does.
