Self proclaimed geeks are often the least tech savvy. They just collect and consume they are passionate about their hobbies but they stay on the surface level. Unlike a nerd who deep dives into material and becomes a knowledgeable expert.

A nerd is someone who buys all game consoles and a new phone every year.

A geek is someone who owns more than 2 board games besides Catan and Uno.

A hacker though, that's someone who can vibe code an app.
