Successful nerds succeed, there are plenty of unsuccessful nerds. I, without a shred of evidence, would think there is a positive correlation between school geekiness and success, but all this "nerds will own the world" talk that is gaining traction lately is a bit foolish, in my opinion.

People who were defined as "nerds" who are just incapable of socializing, have a huge disadvantage in the real world.
