Geek AND Tech, or two for the price of one?
Does anybody else feel that there should be a separate channel for tech sifts?
Whenever I get around to cleaning up the Science channel, I inevitably find some videos that do not belong in the Geek channel, so the closest fit people could think of is Science, so that's where they put it.
I know there's a huge overlap between Geek and Tech, but not all Tech is Geek, and not all Geek is Tech. For example, Solar Air Conditioning is Science, but it's also definitely Tech but only Geek in the loosest sense of the word. So, I'd be happy to put it in Science and Tech, but...we don't have a Tech channel anymore.
I guess I just feel that the concept of Tech always being Geek is co-opting both ideas, and that it's leading to incorrect channel-sifting.
