TV is evil.
I have 8 computers in my room. I have more friends online than at school (about 150 more) I have 2 OSes on most of my computers, more on others. I can use two computers at the same time My monitor is almost bigger than my TV I use my computers more than 10 hours a day I can tell somebody how to repartition their hard drive, reformat their hard drive, and thoroughly reinstall everything on their computer WITHOUT having to be looking at one (I know the process by heart) I can type faster with two fingers than most people can with all their hands I learned 99% of all my computer knowledge without anyone to teach it to me (or any books) I've had more than 1 website at a time I run my own webserver I can actually use a computer without a monitor hooked up I run many many many servers My room is typically hotter than any other room in the house because my computers act as floor heaters I do know the meaning of life too  I can go through keyboards and mice faster than some people can go through toothbrushes I am one of very few people that has ever worn out a mouse because the wire connecting it to the computer fell in pieces I can name, and know how to fix almost every computer apple has ever made (this also applies for most other computers on the market) I know there are at least 5 versions of the "Peanut butter jelly time" flash The only DVDs I own are ones I've burned When I'm bored @ school I start drawing mechanisms, buildings, neat computer case designs, etc. I actually had dreams of playing with the following devices: ibook, ipod, powerbook My favorite text editor is pico When I'm bored at home I like to take websites and redo them my way, then normally sending off the idea to a webmaster I can tell anyone the difference between a CRT and LCD. I've actually had people yell at me to stop talking when I ramble about technological architectures and such. I have read the white paper on countless processors and can tell you the difference between platforms, etc. When things break I like to take them apart and fix them I actually trust my electrical work Most of the lights (the hard wired ones) in this house were installed by ME I can open the hood of a car and identify nearly all of the parts and what they do, even without never knowing the car before I can sit aside a semi-busy street and name the manufacturer of every car that goes by I can name the brand of a computer (and usualyl it's specs) just by looking at it When people ask me if I know (popular TV show or music video goes here, or artist, etc) I don't have a clue I actually know more than one type of IP (interllectual property and internet protocol) Hrmmmm what else? *shrug* Oh yeah: I took driver's ed on a computer instead of in a class

Oh yeah, I just remembered another thing... I play driving games better with a keyboard than I do with a controller. And I can actually catch things in those 'grab and win' machines because I have really freaking good joystick control

A few more I forgot before:
I was the first to respond to this thread. My MIT essay was on why Legos are the best invention of the 20th century. When internet explorer crashes, I click "debug" and look through the assembly code. I write whitepapers for fun. In school, I do only what the teacher asks, in FIRST I end up doing about 10x what I have to. When someone says "X" I think XFree86 (Linux). IPv6 gives me nightmares. Cisco 2500 routers and Catalyst 5000 switches speak to me. My primary computer has a 5.25" floppy drive. I know my NIC's MAC address by heart. I see physics equations while looking at things happening in the world. I can take derivatives with my eyes closed, but can't remember how to do long division.
