In the virtual world community said the hacker is very famous, said the hacker is a lot of controversy. Hackers are usually equated with someone who has high technical skills in computer problems such as programming especially on network security.
Hackers are usually dominated by men, especially male teenagers, quite fair I think because the teenage boys usually have a great sense of curiosity and also high spirit to realize their dreams. Hacker economically, has an upper middle economic status, this means the economic life of a hacker is quite prosperous, this can be seen with those who have computers even up to more than one computer and also usually they have internet access.
Psychologically or thought most Hackers have a lot in common. Basically any Hacker is anti-authority. Where any arbitrary authority is usually felt by Hackers will curb their creativity and thinking. Hackers prefer freedom, they think freedom is beautiful, but here freedom is freedom responsible because your freedom is the freedom of others as well.
Physically Hackers are usually recognized by the passion of reading, appear eccentric and have a different mindset than the average person. Reading is the main requirement to be a hacker. Readers of the hackers open only to the discussion oriented to engineering problems or computer manuals but also to the reading of science fiction and even literature. This world we can explore through books, through books we can get inspiration about new things. In addition books can also give us enlightenment in freedom of thought.
Hackers and 'quirky' actually have no relationship at all. But with the anti-authority and freedom of thought, every Hacker applies a lifestyle that can be said to be unique, a lifestyle that is very different from the lifestyle of the average person, as if by living once they feel comfortable. An example is Stallman who popularized the term GNU General Public License.Hacker is usually identified with the term 'Geek', as a label that impressed 'glow in the dark'. Where a geek is usually the people who are wasted in their social life or rather avoid social life. Where social life is now a lot of negative impacts. In today's social life rationality has been abandoned. One should not appreciate only because of his physical appearance or his economic wealth. In the world of Hackers someone is more appreciated through what they think and do.
Many of the hackers are bored with the guidance and formalities of social life that exist. Even many of them are trying to break down and undermine the guidance and social formality.
Basically being a Hacker is to hold on to the principles that are owned and always dare to break the boundaries in every technical problem to get a solution more efficient problems. The main thing is to keep creativity and thinking, nothing can stop creativity and nothing can curb one's thinking.
