Hacker News Reader

I'm not so sure about that, though I guess you are probably joking. Kids are given "smart" devices which make it easy to consume stuff, but nigh impossible to break out of, let alone create stuff on (or at least nigh impossible to create code).

IMO, it creates less hackers.

Life, uh, finds a way.

as one of these young “hackers” that has always found ways for circumventing restrictions, I can definitively tell you that every kid that uses these bypasses has a different level of understanding of the “hack”. for example, some of my friends use the bypasses that I make, and they don’t have to understand the tool to use it. so while there are many (s)kids using these, it’s actually a very small percentage that learn how to make the bypass themselves, and become “better hackers”.
