One of the most exciting trends of the early 21st century has been the explosion of hacker culture around the world. By hackers, I don’t mean people who pose security threats to computer networks. I’m referring simply to people who use technology to create useful products. For a number of reasons, the next few decades will see more hackers added to the global population than at any time in history.

What’s exciting, too, is the mindset, and that it’s becoming increasingly prevalent. The mindset is that the world is something to look at curiously, experiment with, move things around and see how they work together, and build better stuff. It doesn’t have to stay in the technology industry. It applies anywhere, and we’re all better off if there are a lot of people looking around, asking how something could be better, and then trying to make it better.
