Hackers are the worst kind of people.

In War in the Age of Intelligent Machines (1991), author Manuel De Landa writes about how information published by experts was limited to some select users when the computer was invented. Furthermore, Da Landa explains how it changed gradually from that point on, until this article was published. Most significantly, ethics among hackers have changed. The hackers' opinion were (and still are) that information should flow freely, allowing anyone to wants to 'improve the way the world works'. The hackers' would not be stopped by property rights in order to achieve this right.

De Landa believed that hackers have speeded up the amount of interactivity through computers. Hackers were well valued for some time working side by side with scientists, however in later years they have gradually gone over the line. In 1988, a hacker released the first computer virus onto the Internet. This marked the start of computer terrorism as well as a new million dollar crime network. There are still 'good' hackers working with programs to find faults etc, but the term 'hacker' will forever be associated with something weak and terrible.

Scary thing is that one person with a computer and a web connection can be able to destroy the work of millions of people. When will the virus destroying all machines come? Before you even get to read this?
