Nope, building stuff and learnign is more accessible then ever if that is you wish. It is also much much cheaper. You are nor special geek anymore for making nice looking Web and you don't count as techie for chatting with kids over IRC anymore - anyone does that now over facebook. That is not because geeks lost to suits, but because it is easy and masses know that.

The original "geek" hobbies are mainstream now.

Then again, I always found geeks vs suits immature and hypocritical. Suits are stupid cause they judge people by cloth, but we won't hire someone who listened parents advice and came in suit not knowing it is uncool. Totally.
