Popular media often protray hacking as a lone wolf type activity. A single young male sitting alone at his computer accessing the world at his fingertips. Of course, popular media often gets it entirely wrong!
Based on my non-hacker understanding of hacking based on academic research and observation, it seems to me that hacking can be both a solitary and a group activity depending on the objectives and the individual personalities.
Recent research suggests that young people are more likely to become hackers if they have friends who are also into hacking. In your experience, are friends who hack an important element leading to one's own hacking activities?
