Why does every study on hackers I've ever read start with how they're misunderstood and that it hasn't been seriously investigated before?

- davidw 16y agoWell - have they? I got interviewed by her the last time I was in the bay area. Nice person, and she has certainly spent a lot of time learning about different groups of hackers.
- axxl 16y agoI would agree the general public has a murky understanding of the term hackers. But there have been plenty of similar exposés, Steven Levy's probably being the best known, however a little bit out of date.
- davidw 16y agoI think what she is doing falls more towards actual academic research, although of course it's not a hard science.
