A ‘geek’ is actually someone with a specific niche interest or lifestyle that they have become an expert on, while a ‘nerd’ has extreme interest or fascination with academics.

Geeks’ interests might include: gaming, film, collecting gadgets or technology, computing, coding, hacking, techno music, or screen printing; while nerds’ interests might include: Battlestar Galactica, LARPing, SecondLife, Physics, Chess, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, or computer programming.
