Zuckerberg's, "The Hacker Way"?? - Or is it?
In a recent letter to Investors Mark Zuckerberg likens himself to a Hacker.. I see in the mission of a Hacker its not as negative as one thinks. A Hacker's mission as well as Facebook is to promote social change. To bring about change even potentially forcefully when a better method could be adopted. The connotation Hacker is typically associated with wrong doing, causing a Virus to appear on my system. And in some instances its regular companies that are using these exploits to get you to purchase items from them. (ie. The You've got a virus, Buy our Virus Removal Software). Next thing you know your in a conundrum because you really do have a virus or spyware now and its all because of there Virus removal software. So with Facebook bringing positive light upon the term, "Hacker", does this mean that society as a whole will embrace the Hacker culture? Will Defcon, ThotCon, groups like Anonymous be welcomed in to society as those who promote change? Or will they still be the outcasts that some of us despise? Only time will really tell but maybe the workings really do bring about change? If it weren't for companies being hacked, then security wouldn't be as strong as it is? To hack a secure facility and be successful, then typically that facility becomes more secure to prevent future hacks. So in all we are changing.. Its just the way we wish to perceive the change.
