Le Bon Boffin is a geek vest fashion wear in Skyfall. It is not difficult to see why geeks have gone mainstream
Perhaps nothing shows the evolution of modern geek, as well as the bastion of the James Bond franchise, Q -. Especially since missed most of the steps on the way
For decades, Q is the traditional British geekdom: the Boffin - a middle-aged man obsessed with gadgets little sticky, work, the high-tech equivalent of a shed, a comedy hero our exasperation sweet.
So for once in recent years, from the James Bond films has tried to shed its image with the date to be reborn as a 21st century fresco, Q has simply disappeared. We did not Qs trainspotting mid-30s, not overweight Q work in the basement of his mother.
jumped unflattering representations of nerds around, returning only in the last installment, in substance, the type of design Jonathan Ive Apple supreme connoisseur could create: a score in a zen thick knit cardigan fashionable and specifications of fashion. Gone are the ordinary camera, for a pair of tools impeccably designed (and cyberwar accessory).
more exciting for geeks, modern Q can hold its own when verbally sparring with our action hero -. A delicious reward for millions of people who dreamed exactly that in difficult moments at school and beyond
Geeksaffected the current cultural, technological and economic. Heck, just take a look at job ads real MI6 (if applicable) and you see a lot more beautiful than CV Q James Bond -. The main challenge is simply whether they can pay enough

- Hardcore formative years geeks are rarely so much fun -. And these days the Internet is often a kind of sanctuary
(Incidentally, do not try to pretend that you have read the comic if you've only seen the movie. A comic buff will catch you in a few seconds. This is especially true of Watchmen. pirates, anyone?) Since the public is to learn to stop worrying and love the geek, that is shameful parts of geekdom accept less than they could be. Obsessed communities will never be more relaxed, and the Internet is difficult to use well-known, but there is no doubt that some of the criticisms raised in numerous meetings connoisseur valid:. Sexism and homophobia, for a
Almost none of communities - 4chan, Anonymous, Reddit - are so bad in these areas, as it first search: in general (there are exceptions horrible) people treat people better than sense of humor is suggested by the community.
