If you ever mention to a normal person that you are a hacker, and they may ask you if you can do something bad. The media has unfortunately changed the meaning of the term so that most people think that hackers are illegal computer geniuses instead of our common people who are probably just breaking the law which is preventing you from repairing your own electronics.

We thought the tutorial instructed us that it was in bad form for not entering the commands we wanted. What kind of hacker wouldn’t try anything else? However, this is probably a better diversion than the time your friends are wasting time with Facebook or phone games. It probably doesn’t provide any real hacking skills, but not everything has to be useful.
