Wizards vs. Techs/Programmers

[Thunderwind]

Ya know, I was thinking. That today's technology is a lot like the wizardry of D&D. Well, take for instance the fact that your nose is always in a book (in my case programming or networking), there is a lot of memorization, books everywhere in your home and/or on your person, the need for exotic and expensive components for your tasks, you don't get out much except if it involves your art, the older you are the more powerful (experienced) you are.

Wizard vs. Programmer:

Wand - Mouse pointer or cursor

Wizard hat - Geek glasses (could you picture either without it?)

Constant rambling about incomprehensible things that most mortals cant understand

Long hours - no social life

Everyone seeking you for knowledge, or to fix a problem

Both keep strange or exotic toys

yeah................. :cool:

some wizards cast evil spells that cause mayhem some programmers create viruses

things that piss off a wizard: local yokels playing with magic they don't understand same for techs

satisfying for a wizard: a well fought magical fragfest with one or more other wizards
satisfying for a tech: a well fought quake fragfest with one or more techie
