This is a movement that will sweep over the world, changing everything in its path, and these are some of the people behind it.
Welcome back, my fledgling hackers! Hacking has a long and storied history in the U.S. and around the world. It did not begin yesterday, or even at the advent of the 21st century, but rather dates back at least 40 years.
