Hacking -- Encyclopedia Description |
 | | The term "hacking" in the 1980's became a buzzword in the media which was taken to be derogatory and which by misuse and overuse was attached to any form of socially non-acceptable computing activity outside of polite society. |
 | | To chance upon a solution through "hacking through a problem" is often as educational as structured learning, and thus it is not unreasonable to approach a problem in a field which is devoid of structure and methodology by "hacking". |
 | | Hacking, whether it is benign or felonious, is associated with learning and exploration. |
