The Disturbance of Hackers (Extra)

     Hackers in today's society are a lot different compared to the original hackers in the 60's. In the 1960's when hackers began to change computers, they did things in a more positive way. They would find ways to get information to be free for individuals. In today's society hackers bring a lot of harm to individuals with computers or laptops. Hackers are brilliant people who have a special gift when it comes to being able to change how computers work. Rather than improving technology with their gifts, hackers now would rather cause harm to people by putting in viruses. Ever since the 1990's when punk rock got popular, people have always felt the need to rebel against their parents or higher authorities. These people who hack computers do this because either they want to get back at people or because they are just bored and they find this fun. What hackers do not realize is how much they can ruin people's lives with the viruses they spread. Last year I experienced a virus because I thought that what I was clicking on was a professional site. I realized right away that I was wrong when my computer completely shut down and it took 3 weeks for Information Technology Services to get rid of the virus. Hackers are intelligent people and they have the ability to make a virus website and a professional website look identical. Hackers bother me greatly because they have such incredible minds and their way of taking advantage of their gifts is to ruin others lives and bring harm. There is nothing worse than a person wasting his or her potential.
