NERDS!!
[ best viewed at original resolution ]
Visually, the modern nerd is highly distinctive and is easily recognized by its IRC handle. The modern nerd, particularly of the male variety, is one of the most widely recognized internet personalities in human culture.
Throughout history, depictions of nerds have existed from the Upper Paleolithic period, with carvings and paintings from the Lascaux and Chauvet Caves, through virtually all ancient and medieval cultures where they historically occurred. The nerd has been extensively depicted in literature, in sculptures, paintings, books, in contemporary film and, most importantly, on the internet.
The modern nerd finds him or herself most at ease in a programming development environment. In his or her communication efforts, though, an IRC chat room gives him or her comfort, inspiration, and a sense of community.
