Internet 'Geek' Image Shattered by New Study

Here's an interesting counterpoint to the article Jason linked to earlier this week ("Online Addicts Abandon Real World"):

"The typical Internet user -- far from being a geek -- shuns television and actively socializes with friends, a study on surfing habits said Wednesday. The findings of the first World Internet Project report present an image of the average Netizen that contrasts with the stereotype of the loner "geek" who spends hours of his free time on the Internet and rarely engages with the real world."

I'm curious to hear about our readers. The perception I get is most of you are outgoing, but am I correct? ;) I consider myself relatively socially active, although I've gotten bogged down with work as of late.
