If internet access is enough to declare yourself a 'geek' then we're not there yet, only ~29% of the world now has internet access:

If just having a cell phone counts then we're there at least for the majority of the population, apparently we now have 5 billion cell phone subscriptions.

Thats pretty useless - you have to remove the couple of billions of people from the pool who are too poor to feed themself, stuck in refugee camps or otherwise unable to live their life. It sounds heartless, but they don't really matter in any sense since they have to live life by the rules others make.
