Difference Between Nerd and Geek

Has anyone written a scientific treatise on the differences between nerd and geek?

On the one hand, I could instigate endless debate about the finer points of nerds.

On the other hand I could construct nerds with a 3-D meat printer.

    A geek is one who buys an Apple watch to take phone calls, monitor his heart rate, and control the colour of the lights in his living room.

    A nerd is one who buys an Apple watch and hacks it to run Doom.
