5. Hacker
The term quot;hackingquot; in this context means 'to play with technology'. Popular
culture has associated hacking with 'cracking' (the illegal access to computers)
by mainstream media, but this has not happened in the IT sector, where
quot;Hackerquot; has more affectionate denotations of quot;technology hobbyistquot;.
