snowdogged Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Would you consider yourself an expert on any subject or Field? Do you think that you know more than most people that work in your field of work? Do you consider yourself an expert on Rush? I'm pretty good with computers and can fix most problems most of the time but I do not consider myself an expert. I'd say the same thing about Rush. I know quite a bit about them but would not consider myself an expert on them. So, I'd sort of consider myself a Jack of all trades master of none type person. How about you? Is there something that you are a master of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Star Trek. While I don't remember every detail by heart, I can debate pretty well any point ranging from plot holes, to the symbolism of the many races, to why admirals are so snobby and useless. I don't know much about the actors themselves but when we're talking canonical Star Trek, I'd say I know quite a bit comprared to most. As for Rush and computers, I'm on the same boat as you are Snowdogged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these guys seem to have mastered the Klingon language and know all the so called physics behind all of the technology in Star Trek. I'm not saying that you don't know a lot but do you think you would be considered a guru next to these type of fanatics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that you don't know a lot but do you think you would be considered a guru next to these type of fanatics? I don't even measure up to those kinds of fanatics. I know a fair amount of the "physics" behind the technology, but I'm slowly purging that knowledge to make room for real world physics. Maybe one day I'll try my hand at learning Klingon, but your original post did say more than "most" people in that field. Most Trekkies can summarize the main events of the series but can't go into very much detail. Also, many trekkies in my area don't know the existance of Star Trek: Enterprise because of the fact that it was so poorly marketed and put into terrible time slots.

Lost In Xanadu Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I was quite the authority on the Simpsons. There was a show called Beat the Geek I think, and they had a Simpsons geek on there. I got every question right. According to my 10 year old daughter, I am still the authority on everything. According to my 17 year old son, I'm sure I'm the authority of next to nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter use to think the same way about me when she was that age and now she will be 14 soon and she has figured me out for the idiot that I am.

barney_rebel Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I can use a mouse and operate things with my left hand (use chopsticks, use a hammer, screwdriver etc with my left hand), even though I am right-handed. I can memorize long strings of computer commands for any OS, any kind of system, and for many years. I know how to work all kinds of cameras.
