Comic books, collectibles, and technosexuals, used to be shunned and seen as odd, different, and other synonyms. Just within my short lifetime geek culture has exploded and those things that used to be shunned for being "uncool" is suddenly the cool thing to be into. Alright, maybe technosexuals have yet to become officially accepted, but I don't care what anybody says, Cylon 6 is smoking hot and I'd definitely download my programs into her software, and install a rootkit to access the backdoor. Yeah.
I mentioned earlier that my family was not too tech savvy when I was younger. However I'm pretty sure that my parents went a little out of their way in order to buy me the toys I wanted, thanks mom. Some toys I had and liked the most, were some original Batman figures, Star Wars figures, and Legos. If I had known that some of those toys would be worth more than my car, than maybe I wouldn't have pitted Boba Fett against Batman in a death match with the loser meeting his destiny in the microwave.
What I'm trying to get at, is that "geek" culture is now mainstream and the market is flooded with every kind of merchandise that is only aimed at getting my money. Maybe it's not entirely a bad thing, however nothing feels UNIQUE anymore and somehow that makes me feel less unique.
