Techie

Techie is a term, derivative of the word technology, for a person who displays a great, sometimes even obsessive, interest in technology, high-tech devices, and particularly computers.
Some techies express a disregard for any technology that could possibly be considered obsolete, even if the technology or process in question might only be considered obsolete within the techie community. Consequently, techies are also often early adopters.
With the increased spending power of techies, a few media outlets exist that cater solely to them, most notably Wired, Slashdot, and, while it existed, TechTV.
Techies are very often able to write computer programmes, understand binary, or some other type of coding, and if still school age will join the computer society; if not will almost certainly get a job in IT.
Techies also often know about 'obscure' peices of technology, and have at least one non-windows computer, and possibly a few double boots.
They tend to not care about music, unless it is something they edited on their computer. They dress normally, save for computer related shirts.
