Catherine Bracy: Why Good Hackers Make Good Citizens

Published on Feb 25, 2014
SSTattler: The term  - noun "hackers" or verb "hacking" was used by computer software people (for years) to "break it" or "leak it" or ... and to "fix it" so that is "correct" and "publish it". There is no hacking mischief at all...
Hacking is about more than mischief-making or political subversion. As Catherine Bracy describes in this spirited talk, it can be just as much a force for good as it is for evil. She spins through some inspiring civically-minded projects in Honolulu, Oakland and Mexico City — and makes a compelling case that we all have what it takes to get involved.
