So you want to be a hacker? (I'm sorry, but this is your life)
|

Hackers are evil, and powerful - they're the true action-heroes of cyber-
|
|
space. Everyone wants to be a hacker, and everyone calls themselves hackers.
|
|
It's all a media hype. It's all a cliche'. And it's all so pathetic.
|
|
|
|
IRC is crowded by the people who love to refer to themselves as hackers. The
|
|
Internet is polluted by their meanings, ideas, pathetic deeds and their
|
|
interminable bragging. Cyberspace is polluted by their ignorance.
|
|
|
|
They never stop, they never try to understand. They have no clue what it's
|
|
all about. They got their first modem in the 90s and went straight on the
|
|
Internet (Bulletin Board System? Say again?). Even if they try, they can't
|
|
understand. They're influenced by the others - the others who are just like
|
|
them. The others who just want to be hackers. The others who call themselves
|
|
hackers. It's a never-ending circle, and it's so easy to get into it. It's
|
|
dangerously easy, and once you're in - it's no way back. I know it sounds
|
|
like a cliche', but it's the truth. That's what it's like.
|
|
|
|
So, who are you? Where do you stand? Why do you want to be a hacker? Have
|
|
you ever asked yourself those questions ... - and gotten an answer you were
|
|
comfortable with. Are you sure? I think you're influenced. Influenced by the
|
|
media hype no.1 of the 90s. Influenced by the ignorant people you associate
|
|
with. Influenced by texts like this, in magazines like this. I KNOW you are
|
|
influenced. You can read thousands of texts, discuss hacking with thousands
|
|
of people - but you won't understand anything before you understand the real
|
|
hackers. The people who don't even want to call themselves "hackers"
|
|
anymore, because of what it has become. A pathetic, commercial cliche'. Used
|
|
and abused.
|
|
|
|
Am I different from you? Maybe, maybe not. I like to think so, but if I sit
|
|
down and think - try to understand - I realize that I also am influenced by
|
|
the ignorance. Maybe we're all the same, the "hackers" of the 90s.
|
|
|
|
So what do I want with this text? I want you to think. Lean back, enjoy a
|
|
Schweppers, and THiNK.
