The word "geek" is defined as that peculiar person who is usually obsessed with his or her intellectual preoccupations that they turn inwards and do not socialize with the others around them. They are perceived as secluded people happy to live in their own world being happier to practice their hobbies instead of socializing with people their age. This is a slang term and it used to have a pejorative connotation.



Well, not any more. Ever since Billy Gates, who was considered a computer geek, has accomplished building a world famous company and has become the wealthiest person on the planet people's perception over geeks has changed. I guess that young people were also determined to accept them as unusual people and still respect them and admire them by guys like the "hackers" who proved to be so smart as to break into the most powerful security systems in the world, like the Pentagon or the CIA. These hackers became heroes among teenagers and got to be respected this way.



That is why we can say that nowadays geek are no longer marginalized or discriminated against, but rather admired and integrated more or less in society. I guess that is the main reason why geek mouse pads have started selling and in fact have had a lot of success.
