A "gearhead" is a person with an inborn talent for cars and mechanical technology like motors. A UK variant is "Petrol head" which is is more specific to cars and driving.
So, what do you call someone who has an uncanny knack for computers and generally IT stuff like gadgets and phones, despite having no formal education in them? You probably know somebody likes this, who will just pick up your phone or laptop having never seen it before, and within 5 minutes can tell you exactly whats wrong with it or 10 things you didn't know it could do.
Answer
The Computer World equivelent is generally called a Tech or a Geek...
Or, occasionally, a TechnoGeek. If they are into the software more than the hardware, they are either Programmers or Hackers, depending on which way they lean.
Good Luck!

Do you think the whole world would build awesome unbelievable technology in less than 10 years?

I see the whole world is having more and more technology like every second. So I'm asking what you think.
Answer
Yes and no. There are two sides to every coin. There are people opposed to many different types of technology for many different reasons. If research was funded for all the potentially awesome technology, then it would all happen in ten to twenty years...BUT:
Some technologies have built-in limitations that engineers and scientists are not aware of right away. At the nano-scale there has been found a built-in limitation due to the quantum nature of atomic interaction. Instead of being able to construct tiny robotic machines by simply placing atoms next to each other scientists and engineers are being forced to develop alternative methods for attaching atoms one at a time. These tiny machines must also be placed in a very clean environment with controlled conditions of interaction. The field of nano-engineering has consistently extended its projections for the developments of new applications such as nanobots that repair human or animal cells, but the promise of healing virtually any disease or creating almost any object is worth the developmental efforts and soon, within ten years, these problems will be overcome.
Another example is Artificial Intelligence or AI. When it was in its infancy, AI had been projected to achieve much greater capabilities much sooner than it has and the AI field has wound down to a very slow speed of development due to the unforeseen nature of the true complexity of problem solving. Even with 2009's powerful and fast computers AI is unable to accomplish much more than simple pre-programmed analysis, but AI does continue to grow and evolve so eventually software and hardware will be able to carry on a meaningful conversation with you while you're stuck in traffic, but probably not be able to wash your car and take out the garbage - within ten years.
The greatest technological achievements of the past four decades have been in the computer and telecommunications fields. These ever-shrinking integrated circuits and internet-connected gadgets will continue to evolve very quickly yielding itsy bitsy wideband, bluetooth earphones, cell phones and portable computers. Our society may soon have the ability to allow everyone in the world to talk to and interact with each other at any time by simply saying the other peoples' names or selecting their icons. These improvements are changing our society, but in order to even the playing field our technological innovations will need to be made available to everyone regardless of economic or social standing.
We are on the brink of defining new lines of social status that may end up causing unforeseen social instability simply because technology costs money.
