Hacker Ethic In The Modern World (Week 12)
A short opinion
The hacker ethic has to do with the idea that people do their duty for the greater good. As a result, the hacker community takes pride in the fact that they are rebelling against the authorities that restrict this level of computer freedom. Hackers are only judged by their ability, as opposed to the various systems in place that power currently dictates, such as schools and universities. Basically, the hacker ethic idealizes the notion of hacking as an art form, something revered rather than contested and frowned upon.

In today's world, hackers have about the same hacker ethic that they try to follow. According to her, the goal in itself is the search for information. Hackers take pleasure in the process of searching for knowledge, sometimes leading to hacking into computer systems. But as mentioned above, without selfish motives. The information obtained as a result is used as a positive experience and necessary knowledge.
Free access to computer devices and software allows hackers to disassemble them, understand and learn the basic principles of operation. This way they will be able to improve them with new ideas. It also gives them the necessary knowledge to create new and even more interesting technologies.
The free exchange of information allows people to work collectively and achieve greater achievements. The best way to promote the free exchange of knowledge is to have an open system or open source program. In this system, there should be no restrictions between the hacker and the information, or the hacker and the equipment they need.
To sum up, all people in society can benefit from the experience of such power, and if everyone, like hackers, can interact with computers, then the hacker ethic and culture can spread throughout society, and this will contribute to the development of computer technology. Which, in turn, will lead to the improvement and improvement of the world.
