Hacking for Everyone? (ePub)

The Internet and its associated technologies has steadily become a cornerstone of many peoples interaction with the world. It allows us to shop, bank, communicate, entertain ourselves and much more. It has provided a revolution in how we deal with everyday tasks and how we spend our free time.

Yet the Internet was designed in simpler times where many of the less desirable aspects that, sadly, we now take for granted were unimagined.
