Since the Millennials have become the dominant generation in the workplace, the cultural impact of their social behavior and their favorite devices is what defines what is now fully accepted as cool by the generations Y and Z. And believe it or not, being a geek is one of the trendiest features you could have. Let’s have a look at their top 5 traits.

You Can’t Live Without Your Phone

Do you find yourself taking pictures of your food or the signs in the shops to share in real time with your best friends? 39% of Millennials engage more with their smartphone than with their friends, family, children, co-workers, and partners. Yet, as they mainly use the device to keep in touch with these same people, we can safely argue that Millennials are always talking to the ones who matter to them. If you find yourself turning to your phone for support in life, the geek force is already strong with you!

You Are A Digital Freelancer

No generation values independence as much as the Millennials do. The Millennial geek goes one step further as he or she has landed the dream job: Freelancing. A freelancer is, as you might have guessed, someone who can look in the mirror every morning and greet the best boss on earth with their bed head smile. The preferred freelancing roles tend to be focused on digital projects, such as web developer, designer, and blogger (or even vlogger for the lovers of video blogs). In short, the freelancer is that trendy person who takes their Macbook to the local coffee shop and works from there all day while slurping delicious coffee. Naturally, this is the glitter image. In truth, freelancing is a combat of every day. Thankfully, there are a few basics to follow to make the freelancing life smoother, https://havesippywilltravel.com/2011/12/laws-that-every-freelancer-should-know.html. But this is a little less true for the geek who can be so talented that clients are queueing up.

You Wonder When Your Favorite Shows Will Be on Netflix

You rely on demand TV to satisfy your appetite for good and original shows. Did you cry when Netflix took Doctor Who off? Are you eager to find out when the show of your heart will be back? By the way if you are anything like me, you will surely enjoy this little read www.netflixupdate.com/when-will-supernatural-season-10-be-on-netflix/ that takes the edge off the long waiting for the next Supernatural season. This is the natural evolution of DVD sets, and the geek is very aware of this low-cost high-quality form of entertainment. So be aware that we don’t talk about watching TV anymore. As a well-equipped geek, you will be watching your favorite series on your favorite screen device, which could be your tablet, your laptop, your TV, or even your phone.

You Embrace Healthy Food

The growing interest in healthy nutrition and organic food has developed new areas of expertise in the population. When in the 1990s healthy diets used to list lettuce and diet soda, the educated geek diets are more diverse nowadays. They can rely on a vegan only approach to food, on careful ketosis calibration, on the addition of healthy alternatives from other cultures, or even on purely free from products (as we can see now with gluten and lactose free diets). It’s not uncommon to find tofu and chia seeds in a geek cupboard, because, contrary to the common beliefs, the Millennial geek loves healthy food more than anything else.

You Are Socially Awkward

The image of geeks has changed. If you remember the 1990s, the geek was generally represented as an overweight man who wore thick glasses and was too shy to talk to girls. Stop. Wake up now. This is a cliché. Geeks have a tendency to behave awkwardly in social events for a variety of good reasons: They are so qualified in a highly specialist subject that they find it difficult to discuss more common topics such as the weather or pop music; being freelancers they don’t share the normal 9-to-5 routine and therefore don’t understand any office-related discussions; they spend so much time communicating via digital forms that they are not sure how to send smileys IRL.

So, be honest with yourself, how much of a geek are you? Being a geek is representative of the Millennials generation, but don’t feel sorry if you don’t score high on the scale. Not everybody’s charm relies on social awkwardness!
