Wikipedia definition of nerds:
"Nerd is a term that refers to a person who avidly pursues intellectual activities, technical or scientific endeavors, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests, rather than engaging in more social or conventional activities"

Nerds have changed our world in many ways. Created companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube etc.

They are reinventing industries and siences. Some make loads of money in the process. Others have chosen to lay down their lives for a cause they really believe in. 

I just read the story about Refugees United in the latest issue of Wired Magazine UK edition. A website started by some Danes who wanted to help refugees around the world get connected with family and friends. They are actually changing the lives of lots of people through the use of web technology.

I think there are so many ideas and possibilities of how we could impact the world in a positive way. But we need people to think the thoughts and lay their time and energies on realizing them.

Our own company chose not to focus on working with corporations but with churches and non profits because we believe that these kind of organizations can become so much more effective by using the latest technology in a smart way. 

I think there are lots of people out there who have a divine calling on their lives to change the world for other people in their own nerdy way.

So... nerds rise up, the world needs you!
