I'm thinking about researching the videogame/sci-fi nerd group. I'm curious to know what our modern society defines this group as being. We've all seen movies where the nerd is someone that never goes outside, dates, or maintains any meaningful social function. I want to find out if that stereotypical view has changed as our society has advanced and become more technologically based, or if we still hold to our age old traditions. One difficulty in this will be removing my personal bias, because I am a part of what I consider the "nerd" group. I plan to interview people from each point of view; the nerds, jocks, and average joes. This will help alleviate the bias inherent in my own opinion.
