Digerati \dij-uh-RAH-tee\, plural noun:
Persons knowledgeable about computers and technology.
This came across on the word of the day today and I realized a good 75% of the people I associate with fall into this category. Apparently the word has been around for some time but I've only just now heard of it. I interpret the word to encompass geeks and nerds, but you aren't necessarily a geek or nerd if you are a digerati. Now that I'm armed with this new word expect me to overuse it immediately.
