Stereotypes of Nerds- and more

Stereotypes:

1) Do not have a social life of any sort
2) All are mainly young, many did not go to college
3) All are men

Many of these sterotypes still exist today, however times have changed. These days 'nerds' are not only caucasian and many are of different ethnicities. Also, nerds today, many of them to go to college and have a large focus on getting good grades. Nerds are often seen today as those who spend their nights in front of books. Some nerds today are seen as 'cool' but it all depends on what they are 'nerdy' at.

Nerds today are not all men, however, this sterotype still does exist. When a girl is referred to as a nerd it is often because she studies a lot and is into school. Guys are still nerds, but in the computer sense. Nerds today are still young, often starting at an even younger age due to the ease and accessibility of computers in today's society.

If I were to make a movie about sterotypes of nerds today, I would point out that they focus largely on taking apart and rebuilding items. It is not as popular amongst nerds in high school these days for them to focus on programming and creating new things- but rather using what is already there.
