A Definition of A Hacker

The term hacker can mean a variety of things. Like many words its meaning can change or be modified by the context in which it is used. I write this because so many people only know the mainstream media's hyped and misconstrued version of the word and have lost sight of what it seems to me is the original meaning. The original meaning to me is somebody that has an overwhelming curiosity of the world around them. A tinkerer of sorts. Someone who can hack something together out of what many people would think wouldn't work or shouldn't be possible. A creative thinker, truly outside the box. -Tony K
