Why Geeks Shoud Write

As a rookie in the computer science region, I write this as my first journal of my geek career. The topic of the journal today is "Why Geeks Should Write". To understand this question, it's necessary to figure out what "geek" means.

"too much information to decode the Matrix. You get used to it. I…I don’t even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, red-head." -------- 《Matrix》

Geeks are the people who have great wisdom but appear slow-witted. Geeks are maverick; they enjoy challenging the knowledge they know, and believe that only discover and innovation can make this world better. Geeks would like to make hard things simple, and it's also what they do in their daily life. Althought it sound's similer with "Nerd" ,we should seperate "Nerd" and "Geek" into two opposite regions. Geeks have an ambition to create a better and idealized world, althought maybe it's only possible on the internet. They take internet as their world; they try their best to keep their world pure and strong.

In order to make a better world in internet, geeks will not stop learning and seeking new knowledge. However, procedure, computer and internet are just like a bottomless pit that can never be explored clearly. In comtrast, people have limited brain to store the knowledge. Hence, geeks should keep writing and recording what they learn and find daily or weekly. Writing things down is a way geeks talking to themself in the future, and provide themself a spark in the darkness.


After all I write above, Another reason why geeks should write is that geeks write not only because it make them better, but also because it make others better, make the people who read their artical better, make the internet and even the world better. It's not only about them self, it's about shearing, the most important quality for geeks on internet.
