Question: Why Do People, in drawings, always draw "geeks" with glasses?  it's not their fault they have bad eyesight!!!! P.S. I don't have glasses, I'm just wondering this question = P.

Answer: As a former geek, with contacts, I found out that the stereotype comes from the rough and tumble "old days." Back when physically rough jobs were the only option for many destitute people (who couldn't afford glasses) and NOT for the academics and rich (who could.) The stigma stuck.\n\nGood Luck.
