Hackers

The goal of a hacker is ultimately futile. It's one of a few professions, if you will, that's main ambition is to eradicate itself. What is so counter intelligent about being a hacker is that if a hacker eventually succeeds in spreading a virus, or shutting down the entire Internet or disabling every single persons computer, well then the hacker is left with nothing to do. If they succeed then they've made themselves nonexistent.

And the one thing a hacker can never defeat is the human element. Because if us humans become so fed up with computers, and lose all of our trust with online banking, the internet, etc. well then the power is really with us to just stop using these mediums. Sure it sounds extreme, but prior to the invention of the PC it's how generations upon generations of civilizations lived.

So then what would be next for a hacker to do? Probably another form of juvenile crime.
