Another Day With My PC

Although I’m advocating for the proper and responsible use of PCs, I must admit that I’m one of those who admire hackers. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t condone their acts, but I certainly respect their thorough understanding of networks, software, and computers. I believe that they are assets in the IT community, even only for the fact or reason that they’re causing software makers to be very meticulous in ensuring that their products are bug-free.

Many companies in the industry share my view. Some of them are even inviting hackers to join their team. I hope many more would try to encourage these rogue programmers to turn their talents into something more productive. Antivirus makers should be at the forefront of this endeavor since they stand to benefit the most.

I’m certain that a good number of talented but misguided programmers would turn their back on the mischievous deeds that they’ve been accustomed to and join the ones who are weaving zeroes and ones for something more worthwhile.
