See, unlike most hackers, I get little joy out of figuring out how to install the latest toy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I spend a fair amount of time on my computer, but I don't hack into anything. I have to open the manual and follow instructions.
My parents had a software company making children's software for the Apple II+, Commodore 64 and Acorn computers. They hired these teenagers to program the software, and these guys were true hackers, trying to get more colors and sound and animation out of those computers.
I get hired to hack into computers now and sometimes it's actually easier than it was years ago.
A lot of hacking is playing with other people, you know, getting them to do strange things.
Further, the next generation of terrorists will grow up in a digital world, with ever more powerful and easy-to-use hacking tools at their disposal.
Anytime you put a challenge out there, people come up with a creative solution on the software side.
I don't like creating software anymore. It's too exact. It's like karate; there's no room for error.
I'm a Luddite with computers, and I'm slightly worried about being hacked as well.
Finally, I found a program that's put my troubles behind me.
If you give a hacker a new toy, the first thing he'll do is take it apart to figure out how it works.
