That's an interesting thought actually. Maybe hackers are those who 'kept their child inside'?

I think at some level, everyone was a "hacker" at some point. This is what kids do, they explore things...this is why kids say some awesomely crazy stuff (that is sometimes correct).

Why/how people lose this is beyond me. I was actually going to post this question earlier,what drives someone to NOT want to explore boundaries? I'm always intrigued by people who are afraid to push the envelope.
