Hack, hack, hack!
What’s that?
It’s the sound of a nation of hackers. That’s us in the 21st century.
Not so long ago, in the previous century, a hack was just a term at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for an ingenious solution to a problem. Those who invented the solutions were hackers. As computers came along, hacks and hackers came along too, spreading the terminology beyond MIT into general use. Hackers were those who found hacks for computers, ways to stretch their limits or detour around the limits they faced.
