I'd say so - its definitely become more socially acceptable to be a bit of a geek in recent years, I first started noticing it between the first and second Lord of the Rings films. We've seen shows like Big Bang Theory and the IT Crowd have popped up in recent years aswell - which shows theres a stronger following towards this culture. I think the adoption of more geek centric technology is just a natural progression :)
