Hacking is well-known, dating back to the early days computing. Hacking is about exploring and understanding systems and products, and modifying and personalizing them. As a strategy, hacking is a world- wide phenomenon. Many things can be hacked, from politics (TheYesMen.org) to the newest Nintendo GameBoy; a stand-up comedian might ‘hack’ jokes by other comedians. You could even say that hacking is as old as human history. But then again: this theory is ready to be hacked!
