Theory: the inspiration to get into hacking that people felt from early hacking movies like WarGames, Sneakers, and Hackers was based on the feeling that power could be gained from knowledge of (how to hack) computers. Especially if one was an adolescent who feels powerless…
LMAO. Moments from #msignite 😂🤣💀
@dwizzzleMSFT: I saw WarGames when I was young. Watched a kid almost destroy the world, then save the world. I thought, “That’s my calling!”
Interviewer: Wait. Which one? Save the world? Or end it?
Dwizzle: <laughs> That’s right. <silence>
