Ten Hackers Who Made History

 
The computer world has a rich history of hackers who steered the progress of computer science and gave shape to computers, the internet, and networking as we see it today - in some cases single-handedly. While the term 'hacker' today carries a negative connotation of an ill-intentioned computer genius, that's only a small portion of what the word really means.
