I don't think any of those substitute to being Geeky, it's just a sign of the times.
It's night time here now so to relax I can either sit at my PC and communicate with the world, voice my opinion and debate with others from every nationality just like you fine people here.
Or.... what, sit down and watch mindless TV just like the “non-geek” people do ?
TV kills braincells, and the so called “Normal People” will never understand.
