1. Geisel, Theodor Seuss, If I Ran the Zoo, p. 47, Random House Books for Young Readers, New York, 1950Geisel, Theodor SeussIf I Ran the Zoo Not an Enginerd … The word "nerd" first appeared in Dr. Seuss’s book If I Ran the Zoo [1], published in 1950.If I Ran the Zoo [1] A person who is interested in technology and relates academic subjects to the real world outside of academic studies — for example, using multi-variable calculus to determine the volume of a cake at a party. GEEK, as an acronym, reputedly came from the United Stated Military; it stands for General Electrical Engineering Knowledge and should NOT be confused with a Nerd.
