But getting out information about FIRST to those who are already "Tech" inclined is great. I'm sure that not everyone who watches Tech TV is involved in FIRST. But I bet students and adults who saw the program and search out more info about FIRST could soon become involved.
Television Exposure for FIRST is a good thing.

I fully agree with you that FIRST on tv is a good thing, however, I feel that most people take the term "nerd" in a negative way. Also, I said i was more mad about the content that he said it in, had it been in a joking matter, I personialy wouldnt have cared.
