One of things I seem to spend a fair amount of time doing is helping 
technically illiterate people with their modern technology. That is to 
say, whereas in the past, my geekiness was of no use to most people, 
that's changed.

I'm too old for that to make much difference to me, but I wonder whether 
younger geeks are getting more respect from their non-geek associates now.

Sylvia.
