A Hacker's Perspective

In an era where technology rapidly advances, opportunities rose like never before, giving birth to a new generation. These people seek knowledge, people that want to explore for satisfaction. Curiosity envelopes this unique individuals' mind with the inner feeling that they want more. This people solve this never-ending hunger by getting jobs that are mentally challenging but, with some people being a bit more creative. Those few choose to become hackers. They use computers as a tool to "hack" confidential information and more difficult-to-reach data. And this is what the essay "The Conscience of a Hacker," by +++The Mentor+++, is about. The essay starts with the hacker's background, mentioning our education system being shallow, with a process of repeating the same teachings, boring those students who are ahead. The author also states that he and his fellow hackers are all alike, curious. He tries to justify his actions by stating that they want to use the current technologies to its fullest potential, to explore and learn, making them who what they are.
